Argentina Inflation Due Tuesday After 1.7% in August
Argentina’s INDEC reports September inflation on 13 October. Forecasts cluster near 2%, after 1.7% in August. What it means for residents’ budgets. The post Argentina Inflation Due Tuesday After 1.7% in August appeared first on The Rio Times .
Argentina's monthly inflation rate fell to 1.7% in August, with the figure set to be released on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. Foreign residents and visitors will learn if September's inflation rate remains at 1.7% or if it returns to the 2% range. The Argentine National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) measures prices for a basket of goods and services, reporting both the monthly change and a 12-month change.
For August, the monthly change was 1.7% and the 12-month change was 33.5%. The forecast for September, collected by the market survey REM, suggests a rate of 1.9%, while the EODHD consensus expects a rate of 2.0%. Prices in pesos continue to rise, leading to a growing cost of living even when inflation slows down. For example, a monthly budget of ARS 1,000,000 (about US$651) would see a 2% monthly rise add ARS 20,000 (about US$13), and a year at 33.5% would add ARS 335,000 (about US$218).
The impact on dollars depends on the exchange rate, which is not fixed and can change. The central bank does not announce its path in advance. If you have rents or contracts in pesos, it is important to check how and when your contract adjusts, as the INDEC figure can serve as a reference.
