CLARIFICATION: Referenced to Normative Act No. 1, dated April 3, 2026 "On an amendment to law no. 61/2012, 'On excise duties in the Republic of Albania,'" as amended, which stipulates that if the retail selling price for diesel is higher than 220 lek/liter, or for gasoline is higher than 200 lek/liter, the 80% excise level applies. Based on the implementation of the methodology for calculating retail ceiling prices, the prices are below the limit of Normative Act No. 1, dated April 3, 2026, and consequently, the full excise level of 100% will be applied.
