INDEC reported a price increase of 2.1% monthly in July, while the accumulated increase for the first seven months of the year reached 19.3%.

For tenants with contracts tied to CPI adjustments, this percentage becomes a key reference again. The final amount will depend on the frequency of updates agreed upon by the parties and the months that should be taken into account to calculate the increase.

INDEC reported a monthly increase of 2.1% in July, while the accumulated increase for the first seven months of the year reached 19.3%.

One of the modalities that continues to be used is the update according to the accumulated inflation over a certain period. For September, the latest available data allows calculating what a quarterly or four-month adjustment would represent.

Taking as a reference a rent of $650,000, the scenarios would be:

• Quarterly adjustment: 6.22% → $690,461 approximately.
• Four-month adjustment: 8.99% → $708,413 approximately.
