TIRANA, Nov 14 /ATA/ – The Customs Administration collected 207 billion leks in revenue in the January-October period of 2026, an increase of 7.6 billion leks compared with the same period a year earlier, official data showed on Saturday.
The figure marks the highest customs revenue recorded for the first 10 months of a year in the past decade, despite the negative impact of exchange rate fluctuations, the Customs Administration said.
The impact of currency movements is estimated at around 6.3 billion leks, reflecting a 3.2% depreciation of the euro and an 8.2% depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
Customs revenue has risen from 130.2 billion leks in 2017 to 199.4 billion leks in 2025, reaching 207 billion leks in the first 10 months of 2026.
The Customs Administration said it would continue working to meet its revenue targets, support free and fair trade, and implement trade and economic policies.
