February's inflation was 2.4%, and the year-on-year rate plummeted to 66.9%.

The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) published today the inflation index for the second month of 2025, and the figures are once again positive for Javier Milei's government.

According to the report, the increase in monthly inflation was 2.4%, the lowest figure since July 2020, accumulating an annual variation that plummeted to 66.9%.

This encouraging data, which shows the sustained deceleration of price increases, represents excellent news for the Argentine economy, which is leaving behind the high levels of inflation suffered during the last few years, particularly under the administration of Alberto Fernández, Cristina Kirchner, and Sergio Massa.

The current figure contrasts sharply with the 13.2% recorded in February 2024, during the economic crisis inherited from the Kirchnerist Sergio Massa. At that time, the economy faced strong price increases, and the inflation index worried experts and society in general.

The difference between both figures demonstrates that the measures implemented by Javier Milei's government continue to bear fruit, generating optimism about the deceleration of inflation in Argentina.

In the second month of the year, the division with the highest monthly increase was Housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels (3.7%), while the lowest was Clothing and footwear, which rose by 0.4%.

The low inflation not only improves macroeconomic indicators but also reflects in the daily lives of Argentines. With more stable prices in essential products like food and services, the purchasing power of families continues to recover, providing relief in a context where the cost of living has been a constant concern.

This news also impacts salary expectations and private sector negotiations, as there are no significant inflationary pressures in the update of prices and tariffs.

Milei's economic measures, which included a massive reduction in public spending, deregulation of the economy, elimination of the fiscal deficit, and zero issuance, were essential for the fall in inflation and to ensure stability that makes economic recovery possible.

The implementation of the automatic adjustment formula for pensions and retirements, which adjusts these incomes monthly according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculated by INDEC, will also benefit one of the sectors most affected by Kirchnerist populism.

This measure ensures that retirees and pensioners maintain their purchasing power against inflation, benefiting the most vulnerable sectors of society and reducing the risk of poverty in this group.

With sustained wage growth and inflation continuing to decline, the purchasing power of workers will keep increasing, and the poverty and indigence rates will continue to fall.

The stability achieved by the libertarian government demonstrates that the Argentine economy is in the process of recovery after years of crisis. This achievement by Milei's administration not only improves the quality of life for millions of people but also lays the foundation for a more prosperous and competitive economy, attracting new investments and fostering sustained growth in the country.
