Inflation in Argentina
Between 2013 and 2022, Argentina faced rampant inflation, consistently recording one of the highest rates in the world. The inflation rate, often exceeding 30% annually, was fueled by economic instability, currency devaluation, and fiscal deficits. This trend worsened over the years, with inflation soaring to over 50% by 2022. The government's efforts to stabilize prices through monetary and fiscal policies had limited success, as structural economic challenges and external factors continued to exert upward pressure on prices.
Consumer price inflation averaged 38.8% in the ten years to 2022 in Argentina, significantly above the Latin America regional average of 8.4%. The 2022 average figure was 72.4%. For more inflation information, visit our dedicated page.
