"I would like us not to learn about the new rules from the Hungarian Gazette"

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced the removal of the margin cap on basic food products, following pressure from retailers and producers. The margin cap had negatively impacted retail strategies and the agricultural sector, causing losses and supply chain issues. After the elections, discussions with government officials indicated a readiness to lift the cap, which was welcomed by the industry as a step towards restoring competition. However, the simultaneous increase in retail taxes raises concerns about its impact. The decision to remove the cap was anticipated, and while it is seen as positive, it should have occurred earlier.
