Food Inflation in Hungary Among EU's Highest

Based on Eurostat data, only the Baltic states preceded Hungary in that respect.

Considering only food, Hungary is on the top of the price rise list in the EU, according to agricultural economist György Raskó.

For bread, milk, fruits, beer, and alcohol-free beverages, the prices rose most in Hungary.
