Quantity restrictions at major supermarket chain in Hungary immediately after price cap scrapping
After 17 months, price freezes ended on Tuesday in Hungarian stores. Immediately after, Auchan announced on its website that it will have some of its former price capped products quantity restricted.
As we reported, the price cap scheme ended in Hungary after 17 months. The government lifted the price freeze on 1 August. In the subsequent regulation, in addition to the mandatory promotions (find details HERE), shops are only allowed to sell products previously subject to official prices at the purchase price, hvg.hu reports.
