The participants were welcomed by the Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of BKT Mr. Seyhan Pencabligil and Chief Executive Officer of CBS (Creative Business Solutions), Mr. Enio Jaço.In his speech Mr. Pencabligil stressed: "Agribusiness is one of the most important sectors of the Albanian economy, accounting for 50% of the employment rate in the country and approximately 1/5 of the Gross Domestic Product, but benefiting less than 5% lending." He also added: "BKT will continue to be close to this sector, as it has done so far, and one of this meeting's key reasons is precisely the strengthening of mutual relations as well as the further development of new projects."
The guests were welcomed by Mr. Jaço, who highlighted the great geographic and climate potential of our country in this sector's development. He presented various grants to be applied in the coming years by international organizations in cooperation with the Albanian government, stressing the importance of banks in the accomplishment of this process.
