So if fuel, electricity, insurance, food, clothes are all up 5-10% over the last month what category has gone down to make up for the HUGE increases in all the other categories?

Methinks the new Indec is just as unreliable as the old Indec

Why oh why do the people stand for it?
I am so glad I don't live there

I think they are still lying and fudging the figures. Of course that is to be expected from the gang of thieves in the Casa Rosada.

The tariffs have gone up 500%!!

Inflation will end up at 50% this year and that is in a most optimistic Outlook asuming of the reserves of BCRA stabilizing and the gov't allowing a free currency market sometime in the future. The cuts in real terms are done via inflation as they did back in 2002.

3. You'll be lucky if its 50%. Inflation ALWAYS speeds up towards the end of the year.
You may be at 100% by then!
