BAE Negocios·AR·about 19 hours ago
A private think tank (UTDT) estimates Argentina's poverty rate rose to 31.4% in H1 2026 from 28.2% in H2 2025, reversing the previous decline. Official data from INDEC is due September 24. The increase suggests economic hardship is worsening, likely due to inflation or policy adjustments, and could have political implications.
