Report for: July 2021 — June 2026

Hyperinflation has been recorded — a catastrophic scenario for the economy. With such average annual price growth of 89.5%, money ceases to perform the function of a measure of value and a means of saving. Nominal prices soared 24.45 times, and the real purchasing power of ARS fell to 4% of the original.

Calculation Methodology

Calculations are based on CPI INDEC. It is a consumer price index that measures the average change in prices for goods and services purchased by the population.

Price Multiplier

Price Multiplier shows how many times prices have increased. In macroeconomics, this baseline metric is known as the Price Index Ratio. It is derived directly from official CPI data and serves as the mathematical foundation for all other calculations on this page.

Formula:
Price Multiplier(K)=CPI2026CPI2021\text{Price Multiplier} (K) = \frac{\text{CPI}_{2026}}{\text{CPI}_{2021}}
Calculation:
11826.400483.600=24.4549\frac{11826.400}{483.600} = 24.4549
Cumulative Inflation

To calculate the cumulative inflation since 2021, we use the following formula:

Formula:
(K−1)×100=Cumulative(%)(K - 1) \times 100 = \text{Cumulative} (\%)
Calculation:
(24.4549−1)×100=2345.5%(24.4549 - 1) \times 100 = 2345.5\%
Average Inflation Rate

Shows the average annual price growth rate including compound interest (where each year's inflation is added to already increased prices). To calculate the average annual inflation for 5 years since 2021, we use the following formula:

Formula:
K1n−1=Average Inflation RateK^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1 = \text{Average Inflation Rate}
n — number of years (5)
Calculation:
(24.45491/5−1)×100=89.5%(24.4549^{1/5} - 1) \times 100 = 89.5\%
Loss of Buying Power

To find out what share of its real value savings in ARS have lost since 2021, we calculate the percentage drop in purchasing power. Loss of buying power is calculated as an inverse proportion to price growth:

Formula:
(1−1K)×100=Loss of Buying Power(%)\left( 1 - \frac{1}{K} \right) \times 100 = \text{Loss of Buying Power} (\%)
Calculation:
(1−124.4549)×100=95.9%\left( 1 - \frac{1}{24.4549} \right) \times 100 = 95.9\%
Equivalent Value

To calculate the equivalent value in terms of purchasing power in 2026, we multiply the initial value from 2021 by the price growth factor:

Formula:
Original Amount×K=Equivalent\text{Original Amount} \times K = \text{Equivalent}
Calculation:
100×24.4549=2,445 ARS100 \times 24.4549 = 2,445 \text{ ARS}
