Historical prices can be converted to current values using inflation index (CPI) data published by INDEC in Argentina (https://www.indec.gob.ar/indec/web/Nivel4-Tema-3-5-31) . The methodology is based on the daily interpolation of monthly inflation values, taking into account its relative - cumulative nature, applying formulas related to the calculation of compound interest. Example: If a good costs $100 and the first month increases by 50%, the price will be $150 at the end of that month. But if the following month it increases again by 50% (over the previous month), the price at the end of the following month will be $225 ($150 + $150 × 50%). Consequently, over the course of two months the increase from $100 to $225 will be 125%.
For the current calculation of the value, it is necessary to resort to the BCRA market expectations survey (https://www.bcra.gob.ar/publicacionesestadisticas/relevamiento_expectativas_de_mercado.asp) selecting the median of the projections for each period, due to The most current publication of inflation indices is always relative to the previous month.
The application returns prices adjusted with the consumer price index. The CPI is the price of a certain basket of goods and services. The goods and services within the basket can increase at very different rates. The price of the dollar may increase slower, the same, or faster than the consumer price index during a given period, so this tool is indicative and referential in nature.
Install the application and operate with it as you like. We will be happy to receive suggestions to improve its features. Thank you !
