German Economic Team presents findings on business climate in North Macedonia
During our recent mission to North Macedonia, the German Economic Team presented the main findings of our Policy Briefing “Improving the Business Climate – Boosting Investment: Proposals from International Investors in North Macedonia” at an event organised jointly with AHK Nordmazedonien.
The event offered government and private sector representatives an opportunity to discuss current developments and remaining challenges for the country’s business climate.
North Macedonia’s business climate has seen significant improvement over the last decade, but there is still room for progress. Drawing on survey results and interviews with foreign investors, the study highlights challenges faced by businesses and outlines reform proposals in the fields of private sector development, administration, legal environment, and taxation.
Key recommendations include improving government payments to businesses, strengthening dialogue with foreign investors, promoting digitalisation and eliminating regulatory inconsistencies.

We were honoured to welcome several high-ranking government officials.
The event was opened by Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, and Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Nikolovski, Minister of Finance Gordana Dimitrovska Kochoska, and Minister of Digital Transformation Stefan Andonovski contributed insightful remarks during the discussion.
We thank all participants for their contributions and AHK North Macedonia for co-organising the event.
