Albania ranks 5th in the world for the most expensive fuel price. This is a new record for Albania in the classification made by the organization Global Petrol Prices.

A liter of diesel in Albania costs 197 ALL.

This means that Albanians pay dearly for it, since only 4 countries in the world, Holland, Iceland, Monaco and Hong Kong sell it more expensively than us.

The periodic data analyzed by the organization globalpetrolprices for 150 countries in the world, show that Albania broke a new record for the first time, climbing to the fifth place for the most expensive price of oil that is traded in fuels, surpassing countries of such as Singapore, Switzerland, Finland and Norway.

For several years, Albania has been included in the list of 25 or 30 countries with the highest price, and this is explained by the inclusion of 6 taxes that are paid directly at the pump by buyers.

Experts say that it is not only fiscal policies that keep fuel prices at these quotas, but also abuses in the domestic market.

Today, the average price worldwide is 124 ALL, or 73 ALL less than the amount paid by a citizen in Albania.
