I get your point, but they probably gave a discount of 1-(1.16/1.19) =~ 2.5%

Right. Since it was limited to a few months only I believe they just accepted the loss, put out some ads with 3% discount etc. Same with the lower VAT for food products.

Probably also rounded down in favor for the customer but I can’t remember the details
