Has Argentina really lowered its inflation rate?

Monthly inflation since December 2023 has followed these numbers:

  * Jan - 20.6%
  * Feb - 13.2%
  * Mar - 11%
  * Apr - 8.8%
  * May - 4.2%
  * Jun - 4.6%
  * Jul - 4%

So yes, inflation has gone down.

Inflation for August is not yet known, as it's only measured for the completed month and revealed a couple weeks into the following month. It's expected that August should also hover around 4% though.

For comparison here are the last 6 months of 2023:

  * Jul - 6.3%
  * Aug - 12.4%
  * Sep - 12.7%
  * Oct - 8.3%
  * Nov - 12.8%
  * Dec - 25.5%

Pretty much the opposite. Poverty doubled in the last 12 months in Argentina, things are going really bad there
