Services dominate the economy (over 50% GDP), followed by industry and agriculture. Opportunities abound in high-growth sectors like IT, renewables, and construction for entrepreneurs and skilled workers, despite high unemployment and informality hurdles. Strategic Balkan location aids EU market access.
