Montenegro is sinking into an import abyss: the economy is on the brink of collapse! In the first five months of this year, imports reached a staggering 1.67 billion euros, while exports barely hit 236 million euros. That means imports are seven times higher than exports, and in some periods even ten times! This is not just a number; it’s a red alert for all citizens and businesses.
Imagine this – every change in energy prices, food costs, or logistics disruptions directly hits the pockets of ordinary people. Montenegro is not self-sufficient in food, technology, or basic products. The main export is electricity, a low value-added product, meaning the country doesn’t make enough money to break free from this dependency.
What can be done? Urgent reforms are needed: incentives for domestic production, subsidies, tax reliefs, development of IT sector, agriculture with processing industry, and pharmaceuticals. Also, educational reform and investments in innovation are key for the future. If this path continues, Montenegro will only sink deeper into debt, recession, and social cuts.
Will the authorities finally realize the seriousness of the situation, or will we all just watch the economy drown? Share your thoughts – is this the end or a chance for a turnaround? Maybe your idea could be the spark that ignites change!
