Original Note:
Argentina’s inflation rate has never hit 300%. https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/inflation-cpi The inflation rate before Milei never went above 200%. The higher rate is a result of currency debasement designed to prevent inflation in the long run, but which cause short term inflation trends to move upward sharply. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67688727#:~:text=%22we%20are%20going%20to%20be%20worse%20off%20than%20before%20for%20a%20few%20months%2C%20particularly%20in%20terms%20of%20inflation.%20and%20i%20say%20that%20because%2C%20as%20the%20president%20says%2C%20it%20is%20better%20to%20tell%20an%20uncomfortable%20truth%20than%20a%20comfortable%20lie%2C%22%20mr%20caputo%20said%20in%20a%20televised%20address
