World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported2m ago
Since December 2023 following the assumption of President Javier Milei, public utility rates in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) have experienced a dramatic increase of 860 percent. This surge significantly outpaces the broader economy's cumulative inflation rate of 261 percent recorded over the same timeframe.
The resulting gap of 599 percentage points highlights a deliberate divergence between utility tariff adjustments and general consumer price inflation. According to the provided data, this pronounced difference is driven by specific policy measures implemented during the current administration regarding public services in the region.
