In that way, the expenses of the Basic Food Basket (CBA) of the Citywhich mark the limit of indigence, had last month a 8.82% increasethat reached 99.5% accumulated in the last twelve months, surpassing in case two percentage points the monthly mark of September what had happened to 6.84% and in more than nine points the interannual measurement, which was 90.38%.
In the case of the Total Basic Basket (CBT)which sets the top of the poverty, the monthly increase was 7.62% (against 6.34% in September) and the 91% YoY (against 83.92% in the previous month), while the Total basket (CT)which in different proportions delimits the middle sector fragile, the middle class and wealthy sectors, rose 7.28% (above 6.44% in September) and 88.21% in relation to October last year (82.31% in the previous measurement).
The indicated amounts They do not include the payment of housing rent or expenses common, because they are not considered consumption expenses.
The evolution of the baskets in October reflected a greater increase in food with respect to the expenses in services and tariffswhich are not part of indigence expenses, which is why the percentages of this last stratum had a higher increase than that of the others.
The situation is similar in year-on-year comparisonif it is taken into account thathe increases in the CBA are between eight and eleven percentage points higher than those of the baskets that measure poverty and the middle class.
The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec) will announce tomorrow its measurement of the basic baskets. This is a piece of information that will gain additional importance due to the fact that the segmentation criteria for subsidies for public utility rates exclude users with incomes greater than 3.5 times the CBT from the benefit.
If the measurement of the Buenos Aires Statistics Department, that level would be located at $485,297.75 monthly.
Unlike INDEC, which only recognizes the categories of poor and indigent, its CABA counterpart has six social strata in its classification. In October, the resources needed to be included in each category were the following: in situation of indigence, up to $76,427.07; of non-indigent poverty, up to $138,656.49; Y not vulnerable poor, from $138,656.50 to $170,043.87. In the case of fragile middle sector, from $170,043.88 to $212,554.84; middle class, from $212,554.85 to $680,175.51; Y wealthy sectors$680,175.82 or more.
