Natural Resources

The entire energy sector in Kosovo is subject to profound change. Decentralisation of production, the growing share of renewable energy, high cost pressure, market liberalization and ambitious climate change targets are the drivers of this change. These factors pose unprecedented economic and technical challenges for grid operators and suppliers, but, at the same time, they offer market players unprecedented opportunities.

Financial services

Changing regulations. Heightened SEC scrutiny. Increasing competition. The financial services industry is under pressure in several key ways. From hedge funds struggling with new industry pronouncements, to insurance agencies grappling with cyber-security concerns, companies across every segment of the industry are facing a host of challenges. And many have both financial and operational implications for their businesses.

Manufacturing

Declining energy costs are helping Kosovo manufacturers become more competitive. Even though from a supply chain perspective, kosovo manufacturers are seeing the benefits of staying close to home, increased regulation, infrastructure, and healthcare costs continue to weigh on the minds of many manufacturers and distributors.

We are well versed in the accounting issues facing the manufacturing and distribution marketplace, as well as the regulatory and compliance challenges posed by every area in which you operate – from liquidity issues to labor costs.
