As of January 1, 2024, it is no longer possible to buy cold food in stores with a SZÉP card.

Payment with SZÉP cards was introduced in stores at the beginning of August, but the Ministry does not plan to extend this option, the Ministry informed the news station. The reason for not extending the measure was that “2023 was the year of reducing inflation, and 2024 will be the year of growth.”

The Hungarian Hotels and Restaurants Association welcomes the measure, the channel announced.
