Projections for July and general context

For the first half of July, private consulting firms estimate inflation between 1.5% and 2% at the national level. An impact from seasonal prices linked to the winter break is expected. In addition, increases in regulated services such as prepaid health plans, rates, and fuels will be added.

In Córdoba, the increase in gasoline was 3.5% and electricity rose 1.8%, although the latter impact will be reflected the following month. The consulting firm EcoGo forecasts a monthly inflation of 1.8% for July, while Equilibra projects a rise of 2%. The national government keeps its expectation of closing the year with a 23% increase.

The year-on-year increase in the CPI was 39.4% in June, a figure significantly lower than the 79.8% recorded in June 2023. The deceleration of the general price level is thanks to the stabilization plan. However, differences between regions show that the effects are not homogeneous throughout the country.
