In the case of Total Basic Basket (CBT), which establishes the poverty ceiling, the monthly increase was 7.92% (against 4.85% in June) and the interannual rate was 69.45% (60.77% in the previous month), while that the Total Basket (CT), which in different proportions delimits the fragile middle sector, the middle class and the well-off sectors, rose 8.12% in the month (slightly higher than the 4.57% in June) and 69.24% in relation to June of last year (61.36% in the previous measurement).
The indicated amounts do not include the payment of housing rent or common expenses, as they are not considered consumption expenses.
The data from the CBT are similar to those released yesterday by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec) which marked an amount of $111,297, but as for the CBA, the level reported by the Buenos Aires agency is higher than the national one, which reported resources for $49,465, mainly due to a different composition of the baskets.
The evolution of the baskets in July reflected a smaller increase in food over expenses in services and fees, which are not part of indigence expenses, which is why the most vulnerable sectors had a lower percentage increase than the others. Social strata.
The situation is reversed in year-on-year comparison, if we take into account that the increases in the CBA are almost four percentage points higher than those of the baskets that measure poverty and the middle class.
Unlike the Indec, which only recognizes the categories of poor and indigent, the Buenos Aires Department has six social strata in its classification.
In July, the resources necessary to be included in each category were the following: in a situation of indigence, up to $61,244.88; non-indigent poverty, from $61,244.89 to $112,765.52; and non-vulnerable poor, from $112,765.53 to $139,133.99.
In the case of the fragile medium sector, from $139,134 to $173,917.49; middle class, from $173,917.50 to $556,535.99; and affluent sectors, $556,536 or more.
