“We have to maintain a policy of baskets. With food we are building regulatory instruments and we believe that the results will be seen in March,” Feletti explained. In this sense, he clarified that “monopolistic inflation is gondola inflation and international inflation is in fresh products”, and considered that “the decouplings have to be seen there”.
For the main private consultants, inflation for the month of January will close with an increase in prices of 4.5%, in line with the 3.8% of last December.
The study by the consulting firm C&T highlighted that the figure will also be similar to the increases in January 2021 (+4.1). Thus, the interannual variation was 51.5%, in line with the values of recent months. From C&T they highlighted that, as usually happens every January, the items related to tourism were the ones that rose the most, including travel, hotels and restaurants.
The health sector also fluctuated in this vein. The increases were highly influenced by the 9% adjustment granted to prepaid after two months without changes. Medicines resumed increases after the November freeze. In turn, food and beverages rose by nearly 5%, also highly influenced by the end of the freeze but also by a very strong rise in vegetables. Finally, the consultant added that in other areas the increases were lower than the average.
In another sense, regarding the agreement reached with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), believed that it is time to “unite in the face of this situation”, although “it should be stated that the IMF exceeded its credit risk rating” at the time of disbursing the loan to the Macrista administration. “The Front (of All) has to be united in the face of this situation. The aggression that the country suffers from the macrismo is crude and violent,” Feletti stressed.
Regarding the strategies to comply with what was signed before the IMF, he pointed out that “All the tensions are alleviated if the reserves in the Central Bank increase. Not focusing on the fiscal adjustment”.
“If it is possible to increase the reserves, one is left standing in another place and in another discussion site. The more reserves there are in dollars in the Central Bank, the more possibility there is of carrying out the economic stabilization plan,” added the secretary.
