Albanian exporters towards the organization of protests. Why are they taking to

Warned in December of last year, the exporters have already taken concrete steps to organize mass protests in front of the prime minister. As a sector that, according to them, is hit by the exchange rate, the pandemic, the shrinking of jobs, has led them to go to the "streets" as the only opportunity to have their claims heard. In an announcement to the media, the "PROEKSPORT ALBANIA" association announces that there will be a roundtable on their part, to conclude on the steps that will be taken to start the protests. "Protests for the preservation of 75,000 jobs, critical situation and the risk of bankruptcy". This is the essence of the table that aims to bring together organizations such as KSSH, BSPSH, CLR.AL, GADC and employees of our sector but also of other exporting sectors, initiatives that have been taken since December by them.

What is going on with these companies?

Exporting and manufacturing companies, according to their financial indicators, are producing less and will also offer less products for sale. It also means that companies need fewer employees and layoffs are often resulting.

Everything that is happening in the export manufacturing economy is affecting the labor market.

The loss of competitiveness of exporters, the decline in the value of sales from the rapid strengthening of the Lek and the increase in direct costs and the impact of inflation on daily expenses are rapidly creating an unfavorable environment to continue and are forcing the vast majority of exporters close the activities and apply for passive status.

This drastic measure forced by the accumulation of losses and the lack of clarity for the market in the coming year will create an effect in increasing unemployment by at least 6% from the current level, where mainly the greatest unemployment will be felt in employees and young people.

A growing concern is also the need to really measure the impacts and effects of this situation in the economy, in social life and in the budget of the state and that of businesses, accurate official statistics are needed in real time and serve as a common basis of social dialogue between the parties.

Consequently, these workers and businesses are left alone and the Government unfortunately sees this economic problem and the current crisis only through two approaches: that of leaving the market to address the problems, considering it a failure of the business model, as well as treating it according to the legal framework for unemployment and for the offer of work in other sectors if there is a mass closure of production and export activities.

The current crisis has also highlighted an extraordinary weakness of the Institutions' preparation to face such cases on the verge of closing an entire sector through the creation of special funds to be used for periods of sector crises or crises caused by lack of coordination between institutions and unfinished tasks for a competitive environment and with market rules of a free economy.
