Read the full assessment
Argentina's October inflation rate is confirmed at 1.83%, marking a continued disinflationary trend. However, this disinflation is likely driven by recessionary forces, indicated by a significant slump in retail sales and increased household reliance on financing for food purchases, rather than effective policy. The sustainability of this disinflation without severe economic contraction remains uncertain.
