Inflation was 2.2% in October and reached 33.1% over the past year

October’s inflation rate reached 2.2%, surpassing analysts’ expectations and marking the fourth-highest level of the year. This outcome confirms that, although the disinflation process continues, inflationary inertia has not been fully broken, maintaining an unstable trend with ups and downs since July. The categories with the greatest impact were housing and recreation, where increases in gas and rent accounted for nearly half of the monthly rise. This dynamic reflects adjustments in relative and seasonal prices that sustain pressure on basic costs, demonstrating that inflationary pressure persists in sectors essential for households. This report is relevant to open data because the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) provides key public indicators such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The availability of this detailed and disaggregated information enables researchers, media outlets, and citizens to verify economic dynamics, fostering transparency and public scrutiny of the country’s financial reality.
