Steven N.“We’ve decided to extend the price restriction measures in both cases until July 1,” announced Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after Wednesday’s government session. “So the prices for both fuel and certain grocery items will remain unchanged until July 1.”
The official prices set for seven food items, sugar, flour, sunflower oil, pork leg, chicken breast, chicken backs, and 2.8% milk, was originally supposed to end on May 1, and the price cap on regular gasoline, set at 480 Ft. (US $1.34) per liter, was supposed to end on May 15.
Orbán said that prices will continue to increase while the war between Ukraine and Russia is still raging. [444]
