Argentina’s consumer confidence weakened in February 2026, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI), which fell to 44.70 from 48.61 in January. The data, updated on 11 February 2026, show a month-over-month deterioration in sentiment after a stronger reading at the start of the year.
The February figure suggests that Argentine consumers have become less optimistic compared with the previous month, reversing part of the improvement seen in January 2026. On a month-over-month basis, the current reading reflects a decline in confidence relative to January, while the “previous” comparison captures how January’s index had changed versus December 2025. Together, these readings highlight a loss of momentum in consumer sentiment as the first quarter of 2026 gets underway.
