What they said vs. what the documents show
What was said · Jul 2026
Official inflows of about EUR 8.5bn (tourism EUR 5.72bn, FDI EUR 1.64bn, remittances EUR 1.12bn) explain the lek; the drug-money argument is unfounded (search summary of Gazeta Tema).

Minister denies drug money drives strong currency (Gazeta Tema; blocked, summary) (opens in a new tab)Gazeta Tema · Jul 2026 · journalism · EN
What the documents show
The IMF (Dec 2025) attributes the appreciation to fundamentals and does not mention informal inflows. Altax (2026) says remittances are partly informal (30-40%, citing a World Bank survey, unchecked) and that cash and off-bank flows add volatility. Whether recorded inflows fully explain the appreciation is disputed; the minister's gross total is not netted against outflows, which Beqiraj raised.
