FX.co ★ Argentina’s Monthly Inflation Cools in August as CPI Growth Slows to 1.7%

Argentina’s consumer price inflation eased in August 2026, with the month-over-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.7%, down from 2.1% in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 10 September 2026, indicate a moderation in price pressures compared with the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, August’s “actual” reading reflects a slower pace of price growth than in July, when the “previous” comparison showed a 2.1% increase over June. This deceleration suggests some short-term relief in inflation dynamics, as the rate of monthly price increases continues to edge lower.
