Argentine Opposition, Consultancy Firms Fabricate Inflation Numbers

2015-08-20 0

Although Argentina's National Statistics Institute puts yearly inflation in July 2015 at 14.9%, private consultancy firms and the right-wing opposition say the figure is 27%. They are manipulating figures to paint a gloomy economic scenario so as to feed concerns over the economy and boost inflation rates. An inflationary scenario would aid big business and weaken the economy. Laureano Ponce reports from Buenos Aires. teleSUR
