Inflation in the City of Buenos Aires was 1.8% in June, according to the Buenos Aires Statistics and Census Institute (IPCBA), confirming a new deceleration of prices and strengthening expectations regarding the national data that INDEC will release in the coming days.
The figure represents a decrease from the 2.1% in May and constitutes the third consecutive monthly deceleration, in line with the stabilization process that the government of Javier Milei has been promoting since the beginning of his administration.
In year-on-year terms, the Buenos Aires inflation stood at 32.6%, while the accumulated figure for 2026 reached 16%, well below the levels inherited by the current administration.
Macroeconomic stability continues to yield results
The new drop in the IPC reflects the impact of the economic program based on fiscal balance, monetary order, and the elimination of issuance to finance the deficit, which are central axes of the management of President Javier Milei and Economy Minister Luis Caputo.
Private data had already anticipated inflation close to 1.8% for June, so the Buenos Aires result strengthens the expectation that the national index will also continue to decline.
In recent months, the government has managed to maintain exchange rate stability, reduce country risk, and advance in a strong recovery of economic activity, while inflation continues to lose momentum.
Which sectors drove the increases
In June, goods increased by 1.5%, while services recorded a rise of 2%.
Among the main divisions, the following stood out:
Housing, water, electricity, and gas: 2.2%
