The Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship, and Trade, Rozeta Hajdari, has signed a new decision regulating the prices and implementing protective measures for petroleum products used in transport. The decision aims to address fluctuations in oil product prices and ensure consumer protection in the local market.
According to the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship, and Trade (MINT), this decision follows continuous oversight of the oil market, which has highlighted that changes in supplier prices from imports often reflect an increase in sales prices, but not always a similar decrease when supplier prices fall.
The new decision sets a maximum allowed trade margin of 2 euro cents per liter for wholesale sales and 12 euro cents per liter for retail sales. Currently, Diesel prices fluctuate between 1.19 and 1.25 euros per liter, while Gasoline prices range from 1.19 to 1.23 euros per liter.
However, these prices do not align with the interests of oil market operators, who have expressed concerns about the impact of the decision on their activities.
