The Transparency Board has set new prices for diesel and gasoline. In its latest meeting, it was decided that diesel will be sold at 202 lek per liter and gasoline at 176 lek per liter. The prices set by the Board will take effect today, the 22nd, at 12:30 PM and will remain valid until the next board meeting, where changes in selling prices will be reflected.
The Transparency Board, in its meeting on April 22, 2026, decided: ✅ The retail selling price of the gasoil by-product, standard SSH EN 590, shall not exceed 202 lek/liter, while the wholesale selling price shall not exceed 190 lek/liter. ✅ The retail selling price of the gasoline by-product, standard SSH EN, shall not exceed 176 lek/liter, while the wholesale selling price shall not exceed 164 lek/liter. 🗓 The prices set by the Board will take effect today, the 22nd, at 12:30 PM and will remain valid until the next board meeting, where changes in selling prices will be reflected. ⚠️ We draw the attention of every wholesale and retail operator of petroleum by-products to the obligation to implement this decision. 🚫 In case of violations identified by various operators, the suspension of activity will be imposed. 🛢 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 maintaining the principles of fair competition in the market.
CLARIFICATION: Referring to Normative Act No. 1, dated 3.4.2026 "For an addition to Law No. 61/2012, 'On Excise Duties in the Republic of Albania,' as amended," which stipulates that if the retail selling price for gasoil exceeds 220 lek/liter, or for gasoline exceeds 200 lek/liter, the 80% excise duty level applies. Based on the application of the methodology for calculating the ceiling prices for retail sales, the prices are below the threshold of Normative Act No. 1, dated 3.4.2026, and therefore the full excise duty level of 100% will be applied.
