Argentina's Inflation: Rising Again in July
Argentina's inflation rate climbed to 1.9% in July, up from June's 1.6%, aligning with analysts' forecasts. Over 12 months ending in July, inflation was 36.6%, a decline from 39.4% the previous month, matching projections. This signals a continued economic challenge as the country addresses inflationary pressures.
In July, Argentina's inflation rate rose for the second consecutive month, hitting 1.9%, according to official figures released on Wednesday. This aligns with analysts' predictions but reflects an uptick from June's rate of 1.6%.
Economists surveyed by LSEG had anticipated a slightly lower monthly inflation of 1.8%. In May, inflation had reached a five-year low of 1.5%, highlighting the volatility in Argentina's economic climate.
Year-over-year figures revealed a 36.6% increase in prices through July, slowing compared to the 39.4% recorded the month before, yet accurately matching analysts' expectations. These figures underscore ongoing economic challenges as Argentina navigates persistent inflationary pressures.
