The rest of the world’s countries do not have inflation levels as high as Argentina, which is experiencing an unprecedented economic and social crisis.
In Latin America, only Argentina and Venezuela exceed 10 % inflation. Colombia is close to that threshold, with 9.28 % at the end of December.
Brazil and Mexico, the largest economies in the region, also face inflationary pressures, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected the supply of and demand for goods and services. Inflation was 4.62 % and 4.66 %, respectively, in 2023.
