Mural of soccer star Lionel Messi STORYLINE: Argentina's monthly inflation rate halved to 4.2% in May, the lowest rate since January 2022, according to the government's statistics agency. The drop continues a trend of declining prices — on a monthly basis — since January, after Milei entered office and devalued the currency. That sent annual inflation soaring toward 300%, among the highest in the world. The last time the South American country recorded a lower monthly rate was in January 2022 (3.8%). While Milei attributes the slowdown in inflation to spending cuts and the handbrake on monetary issuance, analysts and opponents warn that it is due to a sharp drop in economic activity and consumption to levels similar to the devastating crisis at the beginning of the century. The Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity (EMAE), also published by INDEC, revealed that in the first quarter of the year, the economy contracted by 5.3%. Meanwhile, retail sales fell 7.3% annually in May and have accumulated a drop of 16.2% in the first five months of the year, according to a report from the Argentine Confederation of Medium Enterprises (CAME).
