The government has announced the dissolution of the Fuel Transparency Board. Minister of Economy, Delina Ibrahimaj, confirmed the decision during a meeting of ministers, as reported by A2. The Transparency Board was initially established by the government on March 23, 2026, in response to the rise in prices following the conflict in the Middle East.
Speaking on the matter, Ibrahimaj stated, “Another very important decision relates to the conclusion of the special situation in the hydrocarbon market. Today, we will discontinue the Transparency Board, which has been operational for several months.”
The decision to dissolve the board follows a period of significant market adjustment. Since its inception, the board aimed to provide oversight in the fuel sector.
However, recent market trends have seen the price of fuel decrease over the past two weeks, a decline that has been reflected on the stock exchange. The move signals a shift in the regulatory approach to the hydrocarbon market. By discontinuing the board, the government is signaling a return to normal operational parameters for the fuel industry.
The changes reflect the stabilization and subsequent reduction in global energy prices, which was the initial impetus for the board’s creation.
