The Transparency Board sets the new prices for diesel and petrol

The Transparency Board has set the new retail and wholesale prices for oil and gas by-products.

At its meeting held on 8 October, the Board decided that the retail price of SSH EN 590 standard diesel should be no more than 217 lekë per litre, while the wholesale price should be no more than 205 lekë per litre.

For SSH EN standard petrol, the retail price will be no more than 193 lekë per litre, while the wholesale price will be no more than 181 lekë per litre.

The prices set by the Board enter into force today, 8 October, at 12:00 and will remain valid until the Board’s next meeting, where changes in selling prices will be reflected.

The Board has drawn the attention of wholesale and retail operators to their obligation to implement the decision.

In case of violations found by different operators, their activity will be suspended.

The decision was taken in support of the Council of Ministers’ decision to declare a special situation in the hydrocarbons market, as well as the legal framework for the processing, transport and trading of oil, gas and their by-products.

The Ministry of Economy and Innovation, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy state that they are committed to protecting the interests of Albanian consumers and preserving the principles of fair competition in the market.
