Foreign investment in Q2 just €18.7m — SDSM calls it a new debacle for the Mickoski government
SDSM says the €18.7 million inflow in Q2 shows investor confidence is collapsing under Hristijan Mickoski’s government.
Foreign direct investment into North Macedonia in the second quarter of this year amounted to just €18.7 million, a figure that opposition SDSM called a fresh debacle for the Mickoski government.
Political fallout
SDSM accused the authorities of driving away investors and eroding trust in the market. Party officials say the low inflow of capital reflects concerns about what they described as "the criminal policies of the authorities."
The party framed the Q2 numbers as evidence that investor confidence is deteriorating under the current administration led by Hristijan Mickoski, and warned that persistently weak inflows could weigh on jobs and growth.
The data for the quarter — €18.7 million — underline a sharp slowdown compared with past periods, according to the opposition’s statement, which argues the government must reverse the trend to restore credibility with foreign businesses.
No comment from the Mickoski government was included in the material provided by the source.
