The government has decided to maintain the margin reduction for food and drugstore products, and it has been extended until February 28, 2026, the Minister Head of the Prime Minister’s Office announced on Thursday in Budapest, on Kormányinfo. Gergely Gulyás indicated that the range of affected foods will be expanded with additional products from December.

Gergely Gulyás stated that data from the Hungarian National Bank also support that margin reduction is an effective tool for combating inflation. Reducing the price of products included in the preferential range, or at least stopping the price increase, will also reduce the rate of currency depreciation in Hungary, he added.

According to the information provided by the Minister Head of the Prime Minister’s Office, the government has therefore also decided that the margin freeze on food products will be expanded to include additional food product categories – beef sirloin, beef tenderloin, pork liver and pork liver cream, semi-hard cheese, cheese cream, spreadable cheese, apples, pears, plums, grapes, cabbage, tomatoes, red onions, green peppers and baby food – from December 1st.
