Historic drop in inflation in Córdoba
The Centro de Almaceneros of Córdoba reported that May's inflation was just 1.7%, the lowest since 2019. In April, the same indicator had been 3.4%, so May's figure represents a significant slowdown. The report reflects a notable change in price behavior at neighborhood stores.

The organization highlighted that this is the lowest record in five years, marking a key turning point. The survey is conducted monthly on a basic basket in neighborhood grocery stores and self-service shops. The results are consistent with the national trend of deceleration shown by other private reports.
This way, accumulated inflation between January and May 2025 was 13.4%, a low number compared to previous years. This is complemented by the increase in real wage performance that occurred between March 2024 and March 2025. In the comparison of the RIPTE index (average wage) between both periods, the improvement is substantial.
