4 September, 2023 - The European Investors Council (EIC) hosted a breakfast meeting with Mr. Ahmet Ismaili, the Governor of the Central Bank of Kosovo. This engagement marked a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to fostering dialogue and collaboration within Kosovo's financial sector.

During the meeting, EIC members engaged in insightful discussions about Kosovo's dynamic financial landscape, current economic trends, and the Central Bank's invaluable initiatives aimed at supporting and fortifying the financial sector. The gathering provided a unique platform for our members to discuss the intricacies of Kosovo's economic environment.

A central point of focus during our dialogue with Governor Ismaili was the critical role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in shaping the future of Kosovo's economy. We explored the strategies and policies essential for ensuring sustainable growth and development while upholding international ESG standards.

Furthermore, we delved into the Central Bank's visionary plans for transitioning Kosovo towards a cashless economy, which holds great promise for fostering financial inclusion, enhancing efficiency, and bolstering economic resilience.

The European Investors Council remains committed to facilitating constructive conversations and collaborations that contribute to the growth and prosperity of Kosovo.
