Argentina’s annual inflation rate decreased to 84.5% in January 2025, as reported by INDEC. This marks a reduction of 33.3 percentage points from the previous month and the index has not been below 100% since January 2023. The significant dip in inflation reflects a gradual exit from high inflation rates experienced earlier, which peaked with price increases of 25% in December 2023 and 13% in January 2024.
The reduction in Argentina’s inflation rates signifies a shift towards economic stabilization under President Javier Milei, despite ongoing recessionary challenges. The latest figures illustrate a substantial improvement in managing inflation, coupled with demographic implications due to widespread poverty. Continued monitoring and flexible policies will be crucial in sustaining this downward trend while addressing the recession’s impact.
