Argentina’s consumer price inflation slowed for the second consecutive month, with the National CPI rising 2.6% month-on-month in April 2026, down from 3.4% in March. The latest data, updated on 14 May 2026, underscores a continued moderation in price pressures after a period of elevated monthly gains.
On a month-over-month basis, April’s reading shows a softer pace of increases compared with March, when prices had already decelerated from the previous period. The comparison framework indicates that the current 2.6% figure reflects the change in prices from March to April, while the prior 3.4% captured the shift from February to March.
The sustained slowdown in headline inflation may support expectations of easing cost-of-living pressures, and will likely be closely watched by policymakers and markets as they assess the trajectory of Argentina’s price dynamics in the coming months.
