In the case of the Total Basic Basket (CBT), which establishes the poverty ceiling, the monthly increase was 4.46% (against 7.62% in October) and the interannual increase was 95.63% (91% in the previous month), while the Total Basket (TC), which in different proportions delimits the fragile middle sector, the middle class and the wealthy sectors, rose 4.67% in the month (higher than 7.28% in October) and 95.28% in relation to October last year (88.21% in the previous measurement).
The indicated amounts They do not include the payment of housing rent or common expenses, as they are not considered consumption expenses.
The evolution of the baskets in November reflected the lower relative weight of food with respect to spending on other goods, services and fees, that are not part of the indigence expenses, which is why the percentages of this last stratum had a lower increase than that of the others.
The situation is reversed in the year-on-year comparison, if one takes into account that the increases in the CBA are eight percentage points higher than those in the baskets that measure poverty and the middle class.
The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec) will announce its measurement of basic baskets on Tuesday, December 20.
This is a fact that will gain additional importance due to the fact that In the segmentation criteria for subsidies to public service rates, users with incomes greater than 3.5 times the CBT are excluded from the benefit.
If the measurement of the Buenos Aires Statistics Department were taken as a reference, that level would be located at $506,939.79 per month.
Unlike INDEC, which only recognizes the categories of poor and indigent, its CABA counterpart has six social strata in its classification.
In November, the resources needed to be included in each category were the following: in a situation of indigence, up to $79,298.15; non-indigent poverty, from $79,298.16 to $144,839.94; and not vulnerable poor, from $144,839.95 to $177,988.08.
In the case of medium fragile sector, from $177,988.08 to $222,485.10; middle class, from $222,485.11 to $711,952.35; and wealthy sectors, $711,952.36 or more.
