Democratic Union for Integration Cites Significant Drop in Foreign Investment in North Macedonia
The Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) has issued a stark warning regarding a serious decline in foreign direct investment within North Macedonia. The party reports a substantial decrease in investment activity for 2025, revealing a 61% drop compared to the preceding year. Total investment reached 468 million euros, a figure DUI characterizes as “one of the weakest results in the region and a difficult signal for the country’s economy.”
The statement highlights the key factors influencing investor decisions.
Foreign investors, according to DUI, prioritize legal security, effective governmental institutions, political stability, a professional administrative system, and a defined commitment to a Euro-Atlantic trajectory. The party contends that “when the state creates insecurity, political tension and a lack of strategic direction, capital chooses other destinations.”
DUI emphasizes the inevitable consequences of this significant downturn. They are demanding accountability from the current government regarding the circumstances leading to this decline in investment.
The party anticipates that the repercussions of this drop in foreign investment will have a considerable impact on the nation’s economic outlook.
