IMF World Economic Outlook

"The authorities have committed to improve the quality of Argentina’s official GDP and CPI, so as to bring them into compliance with their obligations under the IMF’s Articles of Agreement. Until the quality of data reporting has improved, IMF staff will also use alternative measures of GDP growth and inflation for macroeconomic surveillance, including estimates by: private analysts which have been, on average, significantly lower than official GDP growth from 2008 onward, and provincial statistical offices and private analysts, which have shown inflation considerably higher than the official inflation rate from 2007 onward."

"Within the broad trends, some economies are seeing noticeably higher inflation than are their
regional peers (for example, Argentina, India, Paraguay, Venezuela, and Vietnam)."

"In other economies, such as Argentina and Venezuela, inflation is projected to remain in double digits, reflecting expansionary policies. Private sector analysts estimate that consumer price inflation in Argentina since 2007 has been considerably higher than official estimates."
