Argentina’s consumer price pressures strengthened in October 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 2.2%, up from 1.9% in September. The latest reading, updated on 12 November 2026, signals a renewed acceleration in price growth after a brief moderation in the previous month.
The October figure, measured on a month‑over‑month basis, compares the change in prices from October to September, while the prior 1.9% reading reflected the change from September to August. The pickup suggests that, despite earlier signs of easing, inflationary forces remain persistent in Argentina as the year progresses.
For policymakers and markets, the move from 1.9% to 2.2% will keep attention focused on how quickly consumer prices are rising and whether additional measures may be needed to contain inflation’s impact on households and business costs in the months ahead.
