Argentina’s statistics agency INDEC will release September consumer price data on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026. August inflation was 1.7% monthly and 33.5% over 12 months, while forecasts for September center around 1.9% to 2.0%. The official Banco Nación dollar rate was 1,535 pesos, with the CCL rate at about 1,606.6.

Expanded Detail

Argentina’s INDEC is scheduled to release September consumer price data on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, at 4 p.m. local time (19:00 UTC). August’s monthly reading was 1.7%, with 12-month inflation at 33.5%. July had been 2.1%, and recent monthly rates have ranged from 1.7% to 2.1%.

Forecasts point to September near 1.9% to 2.0%. The central bank’s REM survey averaged 1.9%, while EODHD’s consensus was 2.0%. Polymarket traders favored 1.9%–2.1% at 59.5%, with 29.0% on 1.6%–1.8%. The official Banco Nación sell rate was 1,535 pesos, and the CCL rate about 1,606.6.

Context

The September figure could influence how households, workers, expatriates and visitors plan budgets, since even slower inflation still raises peso prices over time. A reading near 2% may reinforce expectations of gradual disinflation, while a higher result could add pressure on wages, savings and pricing decisions. For people spending dollars, the gap between the official and CCL rates may shape whether Argentina feels more or less affordable. Businesses may also watch the data when setting prices and contracts, though one month’s number alone cannot capture broader economic conditions.
