According to the ESPIG, the top priority for economic policy is to "bring about a substantial process of convergence towards European living standards within the next generation." In a policy paper released in August, the group called for "the systematic transformation of Kosovo's manufacturing and agricultural sectors and the shift from a society in which a large part of the population relies on remittances and subsistence agriculture towards one in which an educated workforce produces competitive products and services that can be sold on European markets".
Prema navodima ESPIG, prvi prioritet ekonomske politike je da se “napravi korak u pravcu približavanja evropskim životnim standardima u sledećoj generaciji”. U planu u kome se izlaže zacrtana politika, objavljenom u avgustu mesecu, ESPIG je “pozvala na sistematsku transformaciju proizvodnog i poljoprivrednog sektora Kosova i prelaz sa društva u kome veliki deo stanovništva živi od novčanih doznaka iz inostranstva i poljoprivrede, na društvo u kome će obrazovana i kvalifikovana radna snaga proizvoditi konkurentne proizvode i usluge koji će moći da se plasiraju na evropskim tržištima”.
