Paypal coming to Macedonia


Paypal will come to Macedonia next year. The state will stimulate opening of 100 new online stores. The Macedonian Ministry of Information Society will enable 100 Macedonian companies to sell their products via the internet in Macedonia and abroad as of 2012. 

The new project of 100 e-stores for 100 products will enable enhancement of the online trade volume. At the moment, the number of online transactions in e-trade is low.

There are only around 80 online stores in Macedonia. In 2012, another 50 will be opened and in 2013 another 50 stores. Start-up companies and existing companies can compete for this project, says Ivo Ivanovski, Minister of Information Society.
