{"fxpage.tile.EUR":"1 euro (EUR)","fxpage.tile.USD":"1 US dollar (USD)","fxpage.tile.GBP":"1 British pound (GBP)","fxpage.tile.CHF":"1 Swiss franc (CHF)","fxpage.faq.why.q":"Why is the bank's rate different from the official rate?","fxpage.faq.why.a":"The official rate is a reference rate calculated by the Bank of Albania. Banks and exchange offices set their own rates for buying and selling currency: when you sell them euro you get slightly fewer lek, and when you buy euro you pay slightly more. The difference is their margin.","fxpage.faq.pay.q":"Are properties paid for in euro or in lek?","fxpage.faq.pay.a":"Most properties in Albania are offered with a price in euro, but prices in lek are common too. The buyer and the seller agree on the currency and the rate in the contract at the notary, and payment is usually made by bank transfer. If you pay from an account in another currency, your bank converts it at its own rate, not at the official one.","fxpage.faq.update.q":"How often is the rate updated?","fxpage.faq.update.a":"The Bank of Albania publishes the official rate every working day. hyrja.al checks it several times a day, so this page shows the latest published rate with its date.","fxpage.faq.weekend.q":"Why does the rate not change at the weekend?","fxpage.faq.weekend.a":"The Bank of Albania does not publish an official rate on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. On those days the rate of the last working day applies, so the date next to the rate can be a few days earlier."}
