Argentina’s yearly inflation rate rose past 100% for the first time in three decades, according to new figures released by the country’s statistical body INDEC, as the government struggles to control rising prices. Prices rose 6.6% between January and February and 13.1% in the first two months of the year combined, according to the figures. Food and drink are among the items that appreciated the most, with a 9.
Argentina has been battered by crippling inflation and February is the 13th straight month that the South American country reported a monthly inflation rate above 4% – generally considered a threshold for healthy economies.
