Trappist cheese may get a price cap, too?

Cheese may get a price cap

The government can decide on the new product with a price cap as early as this week. The Pénzcentrum’s more differentiated list is led by the average price per kilo of Trappist, which increased by 95.4 percent. After bread and butter/margarine, sour cream is next in price, by 87 percent – reports ATV following the Pénzcentrum list.

The list of Pénzcentrum shows: spaghetti went up by 68 percent, chicken legs by 65 percent, beef roasted coffee by 59 percent, 200-250 grams of ground coffee by 58 percent, while 10 eggs by 57 percent, and rice by 56 percent.

The price caps do not last forever, but they are expected to remain in place not only until the end of the year. This can be inferred from the words of the Minister of Economy, Márton Nagy, who said in the latest Government Information: as long as inflation justifies it, the price caps must be maintained. According to the government, there is war and sanctions inflation.
