Overview

  • The statistics agency confirmed Guillermo Manzano’s resignation and said Georgina Giglio will be replaced by Josefina Rim on September 1.
  • Officials cited “differences of criteria” and team‑management issues for the departures and said the Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) will continue without disruption.
  • Giglio returns to the Buenos Aires provincial statistics office for personal reasons and will remain linked to national price index work, according to INDEC.
  • No successor has been named yet for Manzano, and several outlets reported an internal confrontation with agency head Marco Lavagna, which has not been officially confirmed.
  • The changes come as INDEC finalizes a CPI basket update based on the 2017–2018 household expenditure survey, with the IMF encouraging publication toward late 2025, while union sources point to pay freezes and morale strains inside the institute.
