Argentina’s consumer price inflation quickened in March 2026, with the monthly CPI rising 3.4% compared with 2.9% in February, signaling renewed upward pressure on prices.
The latest data, updated on 14 April 2026, show that the pace of price growth has increased on a month-over-month basis. February’s 2.9% CPI gain had marked a slower advance compared with the preceding month, but March’s 3.4% figure points to a fresh acceleration as inflationary forces persist in the economy.
On a comparative basis, the “actual” March reading reflects the change from February to March 2026, while the “previous” figure captures the change from January to February 2026. The step-up from 2.9% to 3.4% underscores that, despite earlier signs of moderation, inflation remains an active challenge for Argentina’s policymakers and financial markets.
