To make it work Sergio Massa’s campaign for president, his team had raised a much more modest inflation target than what was announced in 2022. Far from the 3% that they calculated for this time of the year, They would look for the price index to show a figure of less than 7%.
And in June they got it. The figure that INDEC will announce on the afternoon of Thursday the 13th will be around 6%, according to internal sources. A noticeable drop compared to to the previous month, which had been 7.8% and to April, when it had been 8.4%.
The data accessed by NEWS reflects a number lower than what the private consultants had estimated, which provided a number between 6.7 and 7.3%. It would be due, according to his arguments, to the slowdown in regulated and food prices, one of the items that worries the most.
“We must continue with the stabilization plan,” It was the first order from the small table for the Ministry of Economy since Massa is also a candidate for president of Unidad Ciudadana. The June price index would serve to show that the wave of increases is cooling off.
But it is not all good news for the Ministry of Economy. The Blue dollar exceeded the 500-peso mark this Wednesday, an increase of 1% in the last day. For Massa, one of lime and one of sand.
