ZAGREB, 21 November 2025 (Hina)\u00a0\u2013 The Croatian government has adopted a decision expanding the list of retail products with capped prices to a total of 100 items, in an effort to ease pressure on households facing rising living costs.<\/p>\n

Economy Minister Ante \u0160u\u0161njar said the extension, which adds 30 new products and product categories, is aimed particularly at helping the country\u2019s most vulnerable citizens. <\/p>\n

Retailers will be required to offer at least one item within each category at the capped price and clearly display the highest permitted retail price for that product.<\/p>\n

Under the revised decision, the existing price caps remain unchanged, with the government taking into account current market conditions. <\/p>\n

\u0160u\u0161njar noted that the regulation sets only the maximum regular retail price for each category, encouraging retailers to offer lower prices where possible.<\/p>\n

To ensure transparency, shops must continue to mark capped items with a visual identification label, along with a poster at the entrance or another prominent location listing all categories subject to price limits. <\/p>\n

Larger shops, those over 400 square metres, must also maintain dedicated sections for capped-price items.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis measure reflects our responsible economic and social approach to protecting citizens\u2019 living standards, especially at a time when many households are feeling the strain of higher living costs,\u201d \u0160u\u0161njar said. The goal, he added, is to soften inflationary pressures and safeguard those most at risk.<\/p>\n

\u0160u\u0161njar emphasised that the government will closely monitor market movements and ensure the measure is implemented properly. He also urged retailers to remember that these are maximum prices and that they are free to reduce prices further whenever market conditions allow.<\/p>\n

The decision enters into force on 1 December 2025.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 said the expanded list would help those on the lowest incomes by making everyday essentials more affordable. \u201cThe measure is directed against inflationary pressures. We believe it will significantly help those who have the least,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
