Argentina’s national consumer price index (CPI) growth slowed in August 2026, signaling a moderation in short-term inflation pressures. Month-over-month, CPI rose by 1.70% in August, down from 2.10% in July 2026, according to data updated on 10 September 2026.
The data, measured on a month-over-month basis, shows that price increases in August were less pronounced than in the previous month. In July, the 2.10% rise reflected a faster pace of inflation compared with June, while the August reading indicates a deceleration in monthly price growth.
This easing in the monthly CPI rate may be viewed as a tentative sign of stabilization in consumer prices, although the broader inflation outlook will depend on whether this slower pace of increases can be sustained in the coming months.
