The variation for May showed a rise of 13.2%, more than double that of inflation, and the measured indicators reached their maximum level.

in the last few months the accumulated was around 62%, according to data from the sector chamber.

“This was the product of several cost drivers rising at the same time, especially what today weighs more within the polynomials,” the entity said.

The Labor agreement rose 15% and fuel 12%, among other costs.

“This abrupt rise in the month and the year is mainly due to the increases in Fuels, which, so far in 2022, were 45.36%, and in Manpower, which grew 34.92%, still missing the rest of the parity that will accrue during the year”, indicated the entity.

These percentages are minimal, since there are other costs that are adjusted by the official exchange rate, which continue to rise.

Others are affected by official cost indicators that also continue to rise more gradually but steadily over time..
