The Hungarian language platform, at arfigyelo.gvh.hu, contains price information on products in 62 categories at big supermarket chains.
The platform is among a number of measures the government has rolled out to bring down inflation.
Mandatory discounts supermarkets must offer regularly on a number of food products will be raised from 10% to 15% from August 1, the ministry noted.
Mandatory discounts will also apply to price-capped products, such as milk, flour and sugar, after price caps are phased out on August 1. Retailers' cost will be the base for the sale prices of the products.
