Mickoski Expects GDP Growth Between 3.5 and 4 Percent
The projection comes alongside official data showing over 90,000 citizens still registered as unemployed.
Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said today he expects GDP growth to continue at a rate between 3.5 and 4 percent, offering a positive assessment of the country's current economic trends.
The statement comes in the context of recent government announcements of 17,000 new jobs created over the past two years, alongside ongoing infrastructure investment in highway and rail networks, gas pipeline connectivity, and anticipated data center development.
Optimism Amid Mixed Signals
The GDP growth projection comes at the same time official data shows more than 90,000 able-to-work citizens still registered as unemployed — a combination pointing to an economy growing overall, but where the gains aren't yet reaching all segments of the workforce equally.
Economic analysts traditionally remain cautious about government growth projections until confirmed through official quarterly data, particularly given global uncertainty and regional energy and trade flows that directly affect small open economies like Macedonia's.
