About the AUD/ALL rate
The AUD/ALL rate is how many ALL one Australian dollar buys. It moves constantly with interest-rate expectations, commodity prices and global risk sentiment - see what moves the rate. Tradergy shows the mid-market reference rate and does not forecast where it’s heading. For the 52-week highs and lows and a daily table, see the AUD/ALL rate history.
Reading the same rate from the other side: the reverse rate, ALL → AUD, is on the receiving Albanian lek view, and sending Australian dollars to Albania is covered on the AUD → ALL transfer page. Every AUD pair sits on the convert hub, and to work in more than one currency at once there is the currency converter.
What tourism does to the lek
The International Monetary Fund's 2024 Article IV staff report on Albania describes a booming tourism sector driving output above its pre-pandemic trend, and records tourist arrivals up 16 per cent year on year across the first ten months of that year. A footnote to the same paragraph points back to the Fund's 2023 report, which had already identified productivity and tourism as key long-term determinants of Albania's exchange rate. Two consecutive consultations have said it.
The size of the inflow shows up in what the central bank has had to do about it. The same report puts Bank of Albania foreign exchange intervention in the first nine months of 2024 at around 2.6 per cent of 2023 gross domestic product, almost triple the equivalent period a year earlier, split roughly forty per cent regular auctions aimed at building reserves and sixty per cent discretionary intervention. When the Fund's Executive Board concluded the consultation in January 2025 it assessed the sustained appreciation of the lek as largely driven by fundamentals, and recommended greater exchange rate flexibility on that basis.
The underlying counts come from Albania's own statisticians. The Institute of Statistics recorded 1,382,481 Albanian and foreign citizens entering the country in October 2024 alone, 9.6 per cent more than in October 2023, and its employment and gross value added series for accommodation and food services have both risen steadily since 2010.
The month in that count is October, outside the Adriatic summer season. The Fund's own chart of foreign tourist arrivals, indexed to 2019 and drawn from the Institute's data, shows Albania running persistently above both the European Union average and the Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European recovery path from 2021 onwards.
