Voluntary price restrictions on a range of medicines entered force on Tuesday, the National Economy Ministry said in a statement.

The ministry noted that pharmaceutical industry players had earlier agreed to roll back the prices of a number of popular medicines to end-2024 levels and freeze them until the end of June 2026. The measure followed negotiations between pharma associations and the government on countering “unjustified” price increases, the ministry said.

Household products added to price-monitoring platform

Household and hygienic products have been added to a price-monitoring platform launched to boost competition and counter consumer price inflation, the Competition Office (GVH) said on Tuesday.

GVH said 42 product categories were added to the platform, bringing the total to 142. The platform tracks prices of food products at the six biggest supermarket chains: Aldi, Auchan, Lidl, Penny, Spar and Tesco. Now it tracks prices of a range of household products at dm, Muller and Rossmann, too. GVH launched the price-monitoring platform two years ago.
