The Hungarian government is phasing out its fuel price cap, implemented to shield consumers from rising costs. The decision comes as market prices for gasoline and diesel have already dropped below the capped level at some fuel stations nationwide. The price cap, originally introduced in November 2021, was a significant intervention in the energy market, aiming to curb inflation. However, it led to supply issues and queues at petrol stations, particularly near borders. The government states the move is now possible due to stabilizing market conditions and declining international fuel prices. Consumers can now expect prices to be determined by market forces, though current rates are already competitive. Further details are available on the Daily News Hungary website.
