Prishtina, 08 December 2025 – A two-day training session was held for the board members of public enterprises, focused on the topic “Corporate governance and fiscal risk management.”

The training was organized by the Ministry of Economy (MoE), in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, Labour and Transfers (MFLT), with support from the IFC and the IMF. This broad cooperation reflects the commitment of local institutions and international partners to strengthening leadership standards and enhancing accountability across public enterprises.

During the training sessions, it was underscored that corporate governance is more than a collection of rules; it represents the manner in which enterprises make decisions, safeguard the interests of the public shareholder, and ensure that their operations remain transparent, prudent and grounded in accountability. Boards have a pivotal role in this process; when they operate effectively, they enhance stability, prevent misguided decisions, and transform public resources into tangible value for citizens.

At the same time, fiscal risk demands sustained responsibility and continuous attention. The identification and assessment of risks, along with the development of protective mechanisms, constitute essential responsibilities for any board striving for long-term stability. These processes affect not only the financial performance of the enterprise but also the broader fiscal health of the state. Professionals leading public enterprises must therefore possess conceptual clarity and practical competencies to make well-informed decisions.

The two-day training offered participants a space for reflection, exchange of experiences, and an update on contemporary standards in governance and financial management. This process is vital for a public sector committed to sustainable outcomes and efficient performance.

The Ministry of Economy extends its gratitude to all participants and partners for their dedication and contribution throughout these two working days. This represents the right path towards strengthening public enterprises and shaping policies rooted in professionalism, integrity and transparency.
