The euro has gained a rematch in recent days, touching the 100 lek level.
The Director of the Association of Foreign Exchange Offices, Dritan Vakaj, explained in an interview with "Money Report" that one of the factors that has influenced this is the increase in demand from businesses for the euro.
However, as he added, one cannot speak of a significant increase.
"What we have noticed in recent days has been an increase in business demands for euros, which from the feedback we have is also related to payments made by the state treasuries. The increase was faster than expected, but January has always been accompanied by a slight increase in the exchange rate, unlike December. There is also the effect of tourism, which is not the favorite month of January, and it also affects the supply of euros on the market. As well as the association and slight decline of the real estate market. We cannot talk about an extraordinary situation that could affect an extraordinary increase in the euro. The campaign engines have been turned on and there is a kind of impact on the increase in spending in lek that makes the situation with foreign currencies more optimistic, but there is no data that suggests a significant increase. The fluctuations are around 100 lek and the change in recent days has occurred several times within a day, dictated by demand and supply in the market," he said.
Meanwhile, asked about the impact that the policies of Donald Trump, who has promised to make the US dollar the strongest currency, may have, Vakaj added:
"It is not expected that we will have a significant impact. We have relations with countries where transactions are carried out in dollars, but in the dominant case, we carry out exports and imports in euros."
