strategies on the most successful economic policies,
proved as such in their prior implementations in several countries of
the world. The abandoning of the agricultural economy policies
and
the adoption of the industrial economy policies, lead to the economic
growth experienced by the industrialised countries. One of the
essential factors of the positive changes in the economies of these
countries, was the initial super growth in agricultural productivity. At
the same time, there was a very quick growth in the contemporary
manufactural production. The fact that both these factors have
encouraged the modem development of these countries, implies that
industrialisation is the key to development. As a conclusion, the first
thing to do, in the original region of Shkodra, is to target the growth
in agricultural production and, simultaneously,
to allocate the
financial resources for the industrialisation of the region. We should
be cautious that the industries to emerge would have the necessary
development level to produce at low costs, since “small industries”
are unable to do so.
Taking into consideration the agreements of the ‘80s, the
major part of the countries agreed to reduce the barriers of trade
in
order to be able to participate in the world market. Our economists,
too, should support the liberalisation of imports by reducing the
tariffs and quotas and promoting exports (if necessary,
through
currency
devaluations by means of direct measures, etc...).
Our economic
strategy that could serve the Shkoder City is
the outward-oriented
development strategy. According to this
strategy, the relations with the export markets have a positive
influence
on the domestic producers, thus improving the quality of
their goods. The export of the domestic products versus foreign
imports is accompanied with the drive or incentive to improve the
quality
of the goods and increase their sales. The best example of the
