The Board lowers the price of oil and gasoline, here's how much they will

The Transparency Board set the new fuel prices in Albania.

From 12:00, diesel will be listed at 196 lek per liter, 10 lek less than the last board meeting.

Meanwhile, the price of gasoline has been set at 180 lek/liter, 4 lek less than the board's last decision.

These prices will be valid until the next board meeting where the sales price changes will be reflected.

Announcement today:

The retail price of the gasoil by-product of the SSH EN 590 standard shall be no more than 196 lek/liter, while the wholesale price shall be no more than 184 lek/liter. 

The retail price of the SSH EN standard gasoline by-product should be no more than 180 lek/liter, while the wholesale price should be no more than 168 lek/liter.

The prices set by the Board will come into effect today, the 7th, at 12:00 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%.
