The Transparency Board changes the oil price again

The Transparency Board met again this Wednesday, where the price of hydrocarbons was also changed.

The Transparency Board on April 15, 2026, at its next meeting, decided:

The retail price of the gasoil by-product of the SSH EN 590 standard should be no more than 207 lekë/liter, while the wholesale price should be no more than 195 lekë/liter.

The retail price of the SSH EN standard gasoline by-product should be no more than 174 lek/liter, while the wholesale price should be no more than 162 lek/liter.

The prices set by the Board will come into effect today, the 15th, at 1:30 p.m. 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%.
