Inflation in Argentina was 54 percent in 2019, before falling to 42 percent in 2020. Despite Argentina's fluctuating economic instability over the twentieth century, the largest factor in its current economic status is the legacy of poor fiscal discipline left by the economic depression from 1998 to 2002. Although data is not available from 2014 to 2016, Argentina's inflation rate has been among the highest in the world for the past five years. What causes inflation? Inflation is a rise in price levels for all goods. Major causes of inflation include an increase in money supply, low central bank interest rates, and expectation of inflation. In a country such as Argentina, the expectation can be one of the biggest obstacles. People expect inflation to be high and demand increasing wages, and firms continue raising prices because they expect the costs of inputs to increase. Banks follow suit, charging high interest rates on fixed deposits. Effects of inflation Inflation negatively affects savers. 100 Argentinian pesos in 2018 was worth just under 75 pesos in 2019, after adjusting for the 34 percent inflation rate. Similarly, frequently changing prices has its own inherent cost, called “menu cost” after the price of printing new menus. Inflation will also have a positive effect on national debt when that debt is denominated in Argentinian pesos, because the pesos will be cheaper when the loan matures. However, the majority of Argentina’s debts are in foreign currency, which means that inflation will make these debts larger in peso terms.

The Consumer Price Index gauges the price changes in a basket of goods and services in a defined time period. In Argentina, the CPI in April 2024 was 289 percent higher than the one registered the same month of the previous year, with this figure being the largest monthly inflation rate since, at least, the beginning of 2018. The Argentinian inflation rate has been experiencing a steep increase from December 2020 onwards, when the decreasing trend witnessed since December 2019 came to an end. Long history of inflation in Latin America High inflation rates are nothing new in Latin America. In 2023, the region's inflation rate was 14.41 percent, while the global average was much lower at 6.78 percent. Nonetheless, the main drivers of this are Venezuela and Argentina, both being in the upper table of countries with the highest inflation rates in the world. During the last few years, Venezuela entered a period with five-digits inflation rates, having to issue a new currency and implementing new policies to control price increases.

A history of hyperinflation During the last couple of years, inflation has been a constant among the main problems the Argentine society faces. The country returned to a three-digit inflation rate with former president Alberto Fernández, and the constant price increases took a toll on households across the board. Nevertheless, the problem is far from a recent one or the worst it's ever been, in 1989 and 1990, the inflation rate was over 2,000 percent, reaching for the status of hyperinflation. Commonly, hyperinflation is defined as price increases with over 50 percent per month.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for dairy products in the Greater Buenos Aires region reached 10,820.2 in July 2025. This marks a dramatic increase from 7,826 just a year earlier, highlighting the rapid inflation affecting the sector. The surge in dairy prices is part of a broader trend of rising food costs across the country, impacting consumers and the industry alike. While the Greater Buenos Aires region leads in dairy product CPI, other regions are also experiencing substantial increases. For instance, the Pampeana region saw its bread and cereals CPI rise to 10,031.2 in May 2025, up from 3247.2 the previous year. These price hikes are occurring despite the relatively stable milk consumption volume. In 2022, Argentina's milk consumption reached 11.9 million metric tons, with a slight increase to 12 million metric tons projected for 2023. Despite the challenging economic environment, some dairy brands have maintained strong consumer loyalty. In 2023, La Serenísima led the market, followed by La Paulina and Ilolay. However, the industry faces headwinds, as evidenced by the industrial production index (IPI) for dairy products, which stood at 127.5 points in August 2024, representing a 6.6 percent decrease from the previous year. This decline in production, coupled with rising prices, suggests potential challenges for both consumers and producers in the Argentine dairy market.
