Shkodra free zone

Taking into account the gist of what has been introduced so
far, we should to turn the eyes on the role of the government and its
functions regarding the economic development methods. As to this,
there are
contradicting opinions, but in general, there are two
ultimate
points of view:
• First, the Government might decide to perform a leadership
role in the economic process.
• Second, the Government might decide to keep aloof from the
economic issues.
The East Asian newly industrialised countries have a long
experience in this field. First, it is worth mentioning the complete
“laissez- faire” approach, as applied in Hong Kong. Second, the other
extreme consists of the government's general intervention into the
running of the economy, as applied in South Korea until the '80s.
The experts’ views have converged on the point that the
government should play its part in running the economic activities,
by developing a solid legal macro-economic environment leading to
the economic progress. Unfortunately, the governments of many
“developing countries”
are full of parasitic and very incompetent
personnel,
sometimes so corrupt, that they are not able to perform the
right interventions.
Hence, a question arises: Is it possible for the poor country
economies like Shkodra’s economy, to reach the level of the
industrialised economies? According to the opinions of most
economists graduated from the Tirana University, this is hard to be
achieved, but we are convinced that we have all the possibilities to be
successful in this aspect. Shkodra has all the necessary grounds to
accomplish its goals all it needs is to strictly adopt the Japanese
method.
