Thats anecdotical evidence. 10% inflation can also be felt on a supermarket.
Private inflation offices also gain money by providing high numbers, as they tell what other people want to hear.
The reality is that the Central bank prints money at an accelerated pace and that there is inflation between 10% to 30%. "closer" is not enough for me.

- conanbatt 14y agoI dont know how to make an index, and I dont trust Indec or private offices. Thats why I refute the claim that "now we have an inflation index" by the economist. We dont. Also, the economist had published an article called Gaucho "Blues" about the blue market in argentina, and it has been taken down. Thats a red flag.
