Overview
- Idecba reported 2.2% monthly inflation, leaving the year-to-date rise at 25.3% and the 12‑month rate at 33.6%.
- Five divisions accounted for 64.8% of the monthly increase: housing, food and nonalcoholic beverages, restaurants and hotels, transport, and health.
- Housing costs were lifted by rent and building fees, while transport reflected higher fuel prices and health by increases in prepaid medical plans.
- Within food, fruits rose 8.6%, bread and cereals 2.7%, and meats 1.7%; goods increased 2.2% versus 2.1% for services, with regulated prices up 1.9% and seasonal items 2.8%.
- Confirmed November adjustments to rents, utility and transport tariffs, prepaid health plans, and fuel taxes add near‑term pressure, and private forecasts put October’s national CPI roughly in the 2.0%–2.8% range before INDEC’s Nov. 12 release.
