  • The City of Buenos Aires consumer price index rose 2.4% in November, lifting the year‑to‑date increase to 28.3% and the 12‑month rate to 32.6%, according to IDECBA.
  • Housing and utilities, food and beverages (with notable meat increases), transport, restaurants and hotels, and recreation and culture accounted for about 70% of the monthly rise.
  • Services increased 2.5% versus 2.3% for goods; regulated prices advanced 2.7% and a core proxy (“Resto IPCBA”) climbed 2.5%.
