Inflation is high worldwide. In order to keep domestic hold back inflation levels, the Hungarian government freezed prices of some basic foodstuffs, fuel, certain bank loans and overhead prices.
Retail price fixing is a controversial issue in economic theory. For thousands of years, politicians have been trying to fix prices with more or less success. One thing is certain, however, that the Hungarian population, without state regulation, would be under even greater pressure due to the rise in market prices and would face increasing financial uncertainty.
Regarding the outlook, the fate of the price regulations is questionable, and their extension will result in a further prolongation of the already elevated inflation period.
In the Pulzus application, we asked our users about the price stop.
We wanted to know how long do they think it would be possible to control inflation by regulating prices without causing significant economic damage.
According to 48% of respondents, it would have been better if the state had not introduced the current price restrictions.
Do you think it is possible to keep the price stop so as not to cause great harm to the economy?
