Argentina: Inflation, average consumer prices (Index) Source: National Statistical Office Latest actual data: 2012 Notes: The data for Argentina are officially reported data. Consumer price data from January 2014 onwards reflect the new national CPI (IPCNu), which differs substantively from the preceding CPI (the CPI for the Greater Buenos Aires Area, CPI-GBA). Because of the differences in geographical coverage, weights, sampling, and methodology, the IPCNu data cannot be directly compared to the earlier CPI-GBA data. Because of this structural break in the data, staff forecasts for CPI inflation are not reported in the Spring 2014 World Economic Outlook. Following a declaration of censure by the IMF on February 1, 2013, the public release of a new national CPI by end-March 2014 was one of the specified actions in the IMF Executive Boards December 2013 decision calling on Argentina to address the quality of its official CPI data. The Executive Board will review this issue again as per the calendar specified in December 2013 and in line with the procedures set forth in the Funds legal framework.
