Retailers are putting a price cap on more than 400 food items on the shelves of the eight largest chain stores in Slovakia in order to moderate inflation.

The introduction of the price ceiling will take effect from Monday. Slovak Minister of Agriculture Samuel Vlčan informed about frozen food prices:

“The anti-inflation guarantee means that each supermarket chain defines roughly 30 to 100 types of food for which it guarantees the same price for three months.
This means a total of 400 unique items”
