The Transparency Board has changed the price of oil and gasoline again.

The retail price of diesel was set at 188 lek/liter from 190, while the wholesale price was set at 176 lek/liter.

On the other hand, the retail price of gasoline was set at 171 lek/liter from 173, while the wholesale price was set at 159 lek/liter.

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 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.
