Price of bread in Hungary has increased three-fold compared to EU average
Change language:
Eurostat published data on the changes in the price of bread in the last year. The figures show a big rise in the European Union, and Hungary leads the list.
“In August 2022, the price of bread in the EU was on average 18 percent higher than in August 2021. This is a huge increase compared with August 2021, when the price of bread was on average 3 percent higher than in August 2020.” – reports Eurostat. This is a dramatic increase indeed but it is not even close to what is happening in Hungary.
At the low end of the graph, France got away with an 8.2 percent increase, less than half of the EU average. On the other end of the list, Lithuania experienced a 33 percent rise while both Estonia and Slovakia saw a 32 percent surge. However, on the very left, Hungary stands out with a column almost twice as tall as the second place’s.
Apam always said “Revolution comes when people can’t feed their families!” Hope there is some relief soon.
