The Polish government said it’s reviewing the impact of its increasingly strict Sunday shopping ban, fueling speculation that it may relax the rules in this election year.

Jeronimo Martins SPGS SA, owner of Poland’s biggest food chain Biedronka, rose 4.6 percent in Lisbon after Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Tuesday that the government started analyzing the effects of the law. Cash-and-carry store operator Eurocash surged as much as 1.7 percent after the comments, closing 0.4 percent weaker.
