Note that this is monthly, not yearly as is usually reported for other countries. Argentinian inflation is not the same beast we're dealing with in most of the rest of the world. The yearly number is closer to 200% as reported by the article.
The article does say it is the inflation for the month of October. It literally says MONTHLY inflation.
The 200% is the YOY inflation, inter annual.
For context, 2023 we ended with 211% yearly inflation rate
It's evident that YoY inflation curve is going to overlap with this year's inflation.
YoY inflation reached its peak at about 289% and it's now at 193%, once we leave the 2023 inflation curve behind, that number won't matter anymore
For anyone interested, the current yearly inflation is at 107%
107%<211%
Inflation per month has decreased but also Argentina economy shrank by 1.7 percent and officially in a recession.
That's old information. With July, August and September data, we are out of the economic recession now.
It's a very modest growth, but it's there, without price controls, without printing money likey no tomorrow and more important, without 211% inflation over our shoulders
We also have a good growth forecast of between 4% to 6% for next year. Things are improving slowly but surely
I'm curious to see how this will affect him, American voters didn't care about the inflation rate they cared about inflation prices. How will Argentina voters react? Argentina better at informing their electorate as to the reality of situations? If they were I doubt he'd be in office.
You can't compare inflation in Argentina and America.
It's like being hot and being on fire.
It's like being a global empire versus just trying to survive in the global south.
Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world.
There are four kinds of countries: developed, underdeveloped, Japan, and Argentina.
American's were used to living in a low inflation environment. Argentinians have been living in a high inflation environment for decades.
I think Argentines are very suitable for giving lectures about inflation, rather than being dis(or mis)informed about it, given the circumstances
You'd be surprised.. people here are still surprised that food priced keep rising even tho inflation is less each month
I mean maybe people intuitively understand that when you press your breaks, the car won't stop instantly
And apply that analogy to that of inflation rato slowing, but always positive until full stop
But not all people, even less the opposite party
What do you mean by “inflation prices”?
Some people expect prices to go down when inflation is “fixed” but that doesn’t happen.
Good to see Argentina is heading on the right track.
Listening to Lemmy you'd think some guy with years of formal education in economics knows nothing about the economy.
I don't like the guy's political postures or his constant guzzling of Western cock but got to give credit where credit is due.
After All, Why Not? Why Shouldn't I Keep It?
Yeah bro is an absolute madlad, that's what we like about him
Yeah, when you have full control of the economic levers of the state, you can make inflation whatever you want it to be... What that means for citizens and business owners is something else entirely.
Full Control? His party is minority on all the State houses AND the Economic Agent INDEC has for President someone designated by the opposition since YEARS ago
Proof?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
