Argentina faces the highest inflation in 30 years
In June, consumer inflation in Argentina jumped to 60.7% in May compared to the same month in 2021, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Census (Indec).
The result represents the highest value in 30 years, and an acceleration from the 58% annual increase registered in April. In the monthly comparison, the indicator rose 5.1% in May – in this case, a deceleration after the 6% increase in April.
