Argentina Mother's Day sales fall 1.4% YoY, fifth straight decline; 65% run out of income by 20th

Argentine consumption continues to contract, with Mother's Day sales down 1.4% year-on-year, marking the fifth consecutive decline. A survey shows 65.3% of Argentines exhaust their income by the 20th of the month, indicating severe household liquidity constraints.
