  "account": "Argentina's consumer prices increased 1.9% in September 2026 compared to 1.7% in August, according to the INDEC report on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. Over the past year, prices have risen by 33.4% and 23.6% since December 2025. The rise in housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels led the increase at 3.1%. Education prices rose by 3.0%, while restaurants and hotels had the lowest increase at 1.1%. Analysts believe this acceleration mainly came from volatile items and tariffs rather than underlying price trends. Greater Buenos Aires and the Pampas region saw the highest increases at 2.0%, while Patagonia had the lowest at 1.4%. The central bank's REM survey predicts about 1.7% for October 2026, though the official figure will be published in November.",
