Diesel prices have posted another increase on the domestic market, reaching as much as 229 lek per liter at retail outlets. The latest price movement brings fuel close to the high levels recorded during the war in Ukraine, while costs for citizens and businesses continue to grow heavier.
Diesel rose by 7 to 10 lek
In the retail market, diesel was sold this Saturday at 226 to 229 lek per liter. Compared with previous levels, the increase is reported in the range of 7 to 10 lek per liter.
This new movement comes at a time when every change in fuel prices translates directly into higher costs for transport, services, and household budgets.
Gasoline also on the rise
The increase has not been limited only to diesel. Gasoline has also become more expensive, reaching 216 to 219 lek per liter.
The parallel movement of the two main fuels adds pressure on consumers in a market where citizens often face high prices and few concrete explanations for their pace.
Prices are once again approaching record levels
According to the published data, diesel and gasoline are once again nearing the record levels registered during the war in Ukraine.
The return of these levels raises questions about how fluctuations are reflected in the domestic market, especially when every increase is felt immediately by the consumer, while decreases usually come more slowly.
The latest rise in diesel and gasoline prices deepens the burden on families and activities that depend on daily transport.
With diesel at up to 229 lek per liter and gasoline at up to 219 lek, fuels remain among the most sensitive costs for the market and for citizens.
