The Transparency Board has again changed the trading prices of oil and gasoline in the country.
While the price of oil per barrel has fallen below $100 on the stock exchange, the Transparency Board in Albania has continued to increase fuel prices.
In the decision taken today, diesel will increase by 3 lek and from today at 16:00 will be sold for 210 lek per liter. Gasoline will increase by 2 lek and will be sold for 176 lek/liter.
The same decision stipulates that the wholesale price for diesel should not exceed 198 lek/liter, while for gasoline 164 lek/liter.
The new prices come into effect as of 4:00 PM today and will remain unchanged until the next Board meeting, where further developments in the market are expected to be reflected.
Meanwhile, oil prices on stock exchanges have fallen, while expectations are growing for a lasting ceasefire to be reached between the United States and Iran, as part of a new phase of talks expected to take place in Pakistan.
However, the situation remains unclear, as the Strait of Hormuz continues to be blocked, keeping international markets under pressure.
In recent market developments, Brent crude oil registered a 4.7% increase on Thursday, approaching the $98 per barrel level, while West Texas Intermediate traded near $94 per barrel.
Board Announcement:
The Transparency Board on April 17, 2026, at its next meeting, decided:
The retail price of the gasoil by-product of the SSH EN 590 standard shall be no more than 210 lek/liter, while the wholesale price shall be no more than 198 lek/liter.
The retail price of the SSH EN standard gasoline by-product should be no more than 176 lek/liter, while the wholesale price should be no more than 164 lek/liter.
The prices set by the Board will come into effect today, the 17th, at 4:00 PM and will be valid until the next board meeting where the changes in sales prices will be reflected.
We draw the attention of every operator of wholesale and retail sales of petroleum by-products to the obligation to implement this decision.
In case of violations found by various operators, the suspension of activity will be decided.
The Ministry of Economy and Innovation, together with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, are committed to protecting the interests of Albanian consumers and preserving the principles of fair competition in the market.
EXPLANATION: Referring to Normative Act No. 1, Date 3.4.2026 “On an addition to Law No. 61/2012, “On excise duties in the Republic of Albania,” as amended, which provides that if the retail price for diesel is higher than 220 lek/liter, or for gasoline is higher than 200 lek/liter, the 80% excise duty level shall be applied. Based on the application of the methodology for calculating the retail sales ceiling prices, the prices are below the limit of Normative Act No. 1, date 3.4.2026, and consequently the excise duty level shall be applied in full, 100%.
