In President Javier Milei’s first full month in office, Argentina saw a monthly slowdown in consumer price inflation to 20.6%, slightly below the anticipated 21%. Annually, inflation surged to 254.2%, marking the highest rate since the early 1990s post-hyperinflation period. Milei’s economic measures, including a 54% devaluation of the peso and lifting price freezes, contributed to this trend. Despite these efforts, challenges remain, with expected continued annual price increases due to subsidy cuts and tax hikes.
