Argentina | Real-time consumption monitoring (Sep 25, 2020)

In spite of the poor behavior it had during the first days of September, consumption recovered more from goods than from services. We can see that our expense indicator is highly correlated with the level of economic activity in Argentina.

Key points

• Key points:
• Although it has followed the same trend as internationally, Argentina has not yet returned to pre-pandemic consumption levels.
