Argentine peso valuation trends

Overview

Reports regarding the Argentine peso indicate that the currency is overvalued by 19% against the U.S. dollar when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) according to The Economist’s Big Mac Index. While the unadjusted index previously suggested the peso appeared 5% undervalued based on direct product costs, the adjustment for GDP per capita highlights a significant discrepancy between local income levels and product costs.

Further economic analysis notes that when adjusted for inflation, the real value of the dollar in Argentina is approximately 71.7% lower than the peak reached in October 2020. Data suggests that the real value of the currency has experienced a marked deceleration compared to previous administrations.
