In September 2024, Argentina’s inflation rate stood at 3.5%, a notable decrease compared to previous months. Despite this lower monthly figure, inflation for the year reached a staggering 101.6%, and when compared to the same period in 2023, the increase was 209%. This marks one of the most significant inflation rates in the region.
Major contributors to this inflation surge included utilities, with a 7.3% price increase, clothing prices rising by 6%, and education costs going up by 4.3%.

By the end of 2023, inflation had surged to 211.4%, up from 94.8% in 2022 and 50.9% in 2021.
