Minister of Finance, Delina Ibrahimaj, stated today that the effects of the increase in oil prices, caused by the US-Israel-Iran conflict, have only affected the vegetable category, while the prices of other foods have remained unchanged.
"The increase occurred only in vegetables. There was no price increase in all other food products," the minister said at a conference after the government meeting.
Ibrahimaj said that the situation is being monitored on a daily basis and that currently the prices of over 80 products in the basket are stable. She emphasized that inflation has dropped to 2.6%, describing it as a controlled indicator.
"The war is not in Albania's hands to contain, but we are here to ensure that the consequences have minimal impact on the Albanian economy," the minister emphasized.
