Oil prices in Albania have reached record levels this week, increasing the pressure on consumers and businesses that rely on this energy source. The price hike is a result of developments in international energy markets, where oil prices have risen due to a global supply shortage and political uncertainties. Albanian drivers and businesses are facing significant challenges in coping with these cost increases, while the government is considering options to lower taxes and provide subsidies for the most affected sectors. Many citizens have expressed their concern about the impact of high prices on daily life, calling for quicker interventions by the authorities.
