 The overall objective of the MSME Grants program is to contribute to strengthening the economy and reduce the trade deficit in Kosovo by increasing capacities of micro-small and medium enterprises to upscale production in an efficient and sustainable way, in line with European standards and practices. However, many companies looking to invest in their businesses experience difficulties to access funding from usual sources of finance, such as banks, while the government of Kosovo has limited resources to provide alternative financing programs. I think it had kind of four main objectives. The first was, of course, to create employment where we have been quite successful and secondly also to enhance the quality of the products and also by enhancing the quality, and that's the third point, to increase the export potential in Kosovo, and fourth, but not last, also to enable Kosovo to fully benefit from the stabilization and association agreement, to be able to fully participate in the internal market, of course. You need to respect European rules, certain standards, also safety standards, but also to have a product which is really competitive, which is not only cheap, but also in terms of quality competitive, and I think these were the four main objectives throughout the implementation of this grand scheme. The European Union and the Ministry of Trade and Industry invested almost 3 million euros into the MSME grand scheme, with an additional 2 million euros allocated by the awarded enterprises as co-financing. A total of 784 companies applied for grants, demonstrating the great business potential in Kosovo. Following a comprehensive evaluation process, by an independent evaluation panel, 21 micro and 15 small and medium enterprises were selected for the MSME grant. As a result of the program, all 36 enterprises have increased their sales, and many have expanded their presence in export markets. The total annual sales of awarded enterprises has grown considerably, from 17.5 million euros in 2014 to 28 million in 2016. 24 enterprises are now exporting, compared to only 15 before the program, with exports reaching neighboring countries and beyond. Before the program, the awarded enterprises had 472 employees. As a direct result of increased production capacity and sales, 284 new and sustainable jobs were created. Compared to before the program, the number of female employees increased by 68%. I mean I've visited a lot of these enterprises, I mean being beneficiaries of the program and I think something is extremely clear. Through new machinery, through also additional trainings and education of staff in the companies, the quality of the product could have been increased a lot. But also the amount which was produced. When you consider that some of these companies were really located in small villages, the impact of, let's say, 20 new employment in a small village is huge. Oh absolutely, the grant helped us surpass our goals. Not only have we established ourselves more clearly in the Pristina market, but we've expanded to PAYA and PRISREN and since the grant we also exported to Croatia as well. So really a lot of wonderful things happened as a result of it. I think it is a very good example which we should continue to do. I think it is a very good example which we should continue in the future.
