Gabriella Heiszler: after the price cap, we will not sell sugar or flour for months
They were not surprised by the government’s decision to keep the price cap, which causes more damage than the extra profit tax. Gabriella Heiszler, managing director of SPAR Hungary, gave an exclusive interview to Index.

It was discussed, among other things
- on the effect of extending the food price ceiling;
- about the dangers of “repainting” the extra profit tax;
- about the inefficient Hungarian food industry;
- about customers changing shops for one HUF;
- about planned investments and store openings;
- about why comparing ourselves to the Germans is a vain dream;
- and what you look for when you look at a competitor.
“For ethical reasons, we have always tried to give preference to domestic products, even if they are a little more expensive. But when the food price cap causes us more damage than the extra profit tax on a weekly basis, these considerations are pushed into the background. On the food price cap alone, around 250-300 per week we lose a million forints, more than the special tax”
– says Heiszler.
