Argentina’s national consumer price index (CPI) accelerated in March 2026, rising 3.40% month-over-month, up from a 2.90% increase in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 14 April 2026, marks a reversal of the brief moderation seen in the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, the March reading shows that price pressures strengthened compared with February, when inflation had eased relative to January. The “actual” figure reflects the change in prices from February to March, while the “previous” figure captures the change from January to February.

The pickup in the March CPI suggests that inflationary momentum remains persistent, underscoring ongoing challenges for price stability despite the short-lived slowdown observed earlier in the year.
