Exchange Rate for ALL

For reference-rate use in Albania, the useful benchmark is a dated ALL observation with its currency pair stated explicitly. Provider spreads, card charges and commissions can still change the amount actually paid. This keeps the comparison anchored to a dated observation.

On this Albania currency page, keep the quoted pair and observation time consistent when comparing rates. A bank, card network or cash desk may apply its own spread or fee to that benchmark. That makes the comparison internally consistent.
