US EditionArgentina Inflation Tumbles to Five-Year-Low 1.5% in Boost for Milei
- Argentina's inflation rate dropped to 1.5 percent in May 2025, marking the lowest monthly increase in nearly five years.
- This slowdown followed a period of very high inflation exceeding 150 percent annually after Javier Milei took office as president in December 2023.
- Milei's government implemented measures including exchange rate adjustments, but inflation pressures remained due to multiple economic factors and a stalled recovery.
- Consumer prices rose 1.5 percent in May, down from 3.7 percent in March and 2.8 percent in April, with overall annual inflation forecasted at 28.6 percent for 2025.
- The May inflation drop suggests some easing of price pressures but economists warn that Argentina's economy still faces significant challenges and inflation risks.
