ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE UKRAINE CRISIS ON KOSOVO

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE UKRAINE CRISIS ON KOSOVO

March 6, 2023

The Ukraine crisis has had far-reaching impacts on people in the region. UNDP in Kosovo has explored different methodologies to identify the multi-layered crisis and assess the impact of the war in Ukraine on the people in Kosovo. The multiple studies cover a range of factors, including exploration of the effects on GDP, remittances, energy, inflation, and the changing composition of institutional spending while projecting potential scenarios. Specifically, this report is a macroeconomic impact assessment, that includes scenario-based projections whereas the other report is based on a diaspora survey to assess both remittance senders and receivers’ sentiments towards the current situation. By adopting a comprehensive approach that considers both macro and micro-level impacts, the UNDP aims to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the people in Kosovo and provide effective support to the most vulnerable communities.
