BUDAPEST, March 3 (Reuters) - Hungarian Economy Minister Marton Nagy warned of possible action against rising banking fees on Monday, after previously raising the prospect of mandatory price caps to keep higher food prices under control.

"Bank account fees are rising significantly. This is not justified, so if necessary, we will take action here as well," Marton Nagy said in a Facebook post.
