18th November 2025, Skopje – EC Autumn Economic Forecast, published yesterday, clearly indicates that we are heading in the positive direction, Minister of Finance, Gordana Dimitrieska-Kochoska stated.
She noted on Facebook that the forecasted growth of Macedonian economy has been revised upwards for 2025 and 2026, thus speaking in favor of stability, resilience, and credibility of our economic policies.
As noted in the post, the Report highlights that GDP growth exceeded expectations in the first half of the year, underpinned by investments, private consumption, and boosted exports. Investments in the field of infrastructure and private sector are positioned as growth engines in the coming years, whereby the inflation stabilization further strengthens economic predictability. Additionally, implementation of both major infrastructure projects and the reforms under the EU’s Growth Plan will contribute to boosting development even more rapidly.
As Minister stated, these European Commission’s positive assessments provide a strong impetus to keep pursuing responsible policies, which provide for strengthening the economy and improving the living standard of citizens.
“As a Government and as a Ministry of Finance, we remain committed to maintaining sound public finances, pursuing well-targeted investments, and advancing reforms that accelerate economic development,” the Minister stated.
Specifically, as per the European Commission’s Autumn Report, economic growth is projected at 3.2% for 2025, being higher by 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous Report. European Commission has likewise revised its 2026 projection upwards to 3.3%, forecasting growth of 3.3% for 2027 as well.
