What has changed in June
June's growth doesn't look like a steady wave across the basket: Some basic vegetables rolled back after previous jumps, meat moved calmer, and separate items of grocery, gastronomy and communal block made a notable contribution to the overall result.
So you can't read this page from a single line in the table. A sharp rise in a particular product doesn't mean that the whole category has grown as much, and a decline in an individual item is more often due to seasonality, a price correction, or a return to normal.
Main conclusion
Buenos Aires continues to appreciate in peso and does not look noticeably cheaper in dollars. In this release, the dollar value is recalculated at the exchange rate on June 26, 2026, so the movement in USD reflects both the change in peso prices and the exchange rate update.
For a person who is planning to move, the index is useful not as a promise of an accurate personal budget, but as a map of relative prices: it shows the order of spending, the dynamics of familiar goods, and the areas where personal spending can vary most.
