Jan Boubín on TV Nova: Food prices continue to rise

Food prices remain one of the most sensitive issues for Czech households. Jan Boubín, Head of the Academic Studies Expert Centre and lecturer in economics at NEWTON University, comments on the current development of food prices in a prime-time news segment on TV Nova, explaining why some categories continue to rise while others may see short-term price decreases.

The report highlights links between prices of meat, dairy products, eggs and cocoa and broader global factors such as animal diseases, energy prices and fluctuations in international production. Jan Boubín also points to retailers’ behaviour ahead of the Christmas season and outlines where consumers may expect temporary price adjustments.

The commentary illustrates how macroeconomic factors directly affect everyday household decisions and why understanding the wider economic context matters.
