Argentina’s consumer price inflation continued to edge higher in February 2026, as the country’s year‑on‑year CPI rose to 33.2%, up from 32.4% in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 12 March 2026, signal a further acceleration in price growth on an annual basis.
Both the current and previous readings are measured against the same month a year earlier, meaning February’s 33.2% figure compares CPI in February 2026 with February 2025, while January’s 32.4% compares January 2026 with January 2025. The uptick underlines persistent inflationary pressures in Latin America’s second‑largest economy and will likely remain a key focus for policymakers, investors, and consumers watching the trajectory of prices and monetary conditions in the months ahead.
