Opportunities to Foreign Investment in Kosovo
The trend of shifting production to Central and Eastern Europe makes the Kosovar
automotive component industry even more interesting for investors or partners wishing to
benefit from increasing opportunities in the region.
Construction Industry - During past years the construction industry became one of the
most important sectors contributing to Kosovo's economic growth.
The construction industry remains a sector with highly promising economic potential for
Kosovo.
Banking and financial services - All of Kosovo's banks are now private with some
being foreign-owned. There are six registered banks, eight insurance companies, five
pensions' funds, twenty one Other Financial intermediaries and fifteen Financial
Auxiliaries (mainly money transfer agencies).
The role of the Central Banking Authority of Kosovo (CBAK) is to regulate the financial
sector and protect its stability as well as to foster its development.
Textile Industry - With over 200 years of tradition, textiles were the second largest
industrial sector in Kosovo, after mining. In the past, products from Kosovar
manufacturers targeted the local market, as well as other markets throughout the former
Yugoslavia, Western and Eastern Europe and the United States.
Information technology - According to the latest figures of the Telecommunication
Regulatory Authority – TRA app. 15,3% of the Kosovars use internet on regular basis.
Compared to the EU - average of 38%, the usage of Internet in Kosovo can be therefore
considered as being significantly lower to an EU average. This gap represents an
existing potential of this sector that is waiting to be facilitated.
Food Processing - Kosovo's climate is influenced by its proximity to the Adriatic and
Aegean Seas, as well as the continental European landmass to the north. The overall
climate is of a modified continental type.
