Over the past two weeks, the owner of a hip wine bar in Buenos Aires saw the
price of beef soar 73 percent, while the zucchini he puts in salads rose 140
percent. An Uber driver paid 60 percent more to fill her tank. And a father said
he spent twice as much on diapers for his toddler than he did last month.

In Argentina, a country synonymous with galloping inflation, people are used to
paying more for just about everything. But under the country’s new president,
life is quickly becoming even more painful.

When Javier Milei was elected president on Nov. 19, the country was already
suffering under the world’s third-highest rate of inflation, with prices up 160
percent from a year before.

But since Mr. Milei took office on Dec. 10 and quickly devalued the Argentine
currency, prices have soared at such a dizzying pace that many in this South
American country of 46 million are running new calculations on how their
businesses or households can survive the far deeper economic crunch the country
is already enduring.
