Argentina's poverty rate has increased to 32.3% in the first half of 2026, up from 28.2% in the second half of 2025, according to official figures released by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). This marks a reversal of the downward trend seen since mid-2024 and comes despite President Javier Milei's claim that his administration has lifted 14 million people out of poverty since taking office. Experts attribute the increase to accelerating inflation and deteriorating purchasing power.
