Argentina’s inflation rate has hit just shy of 100 percent, the government said on Tuesday, with savers feeling more pain from some of the world’s fastest-rising prices and workers’ budgets straining as costs outstrip salaries.
The South American country, which has battled spiralling prices for years, saw monthly inflation speed up to 6 percent in January, in line with forecasts, while the annual figure hit 98.8 percent, the highest since hyperinflation in the 1990s.
