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%. Argentina has struggled with high inflation for several years, with rates accelerating due to various economic and political factors. By the end of 2023, inflation had surged to 211.4%, up from 94.8% in 2022 and 50.9% in 2021.
Economic policies following the election of Javier Milei as president in November 2023, including raising the official exchange rate of the Argentine peso from 366 to 800 per U.S. dollar, have further intensified inflationary pressures
