Basic food basket

Corresponding to a typical household composed by two adults and two children under 8 years old. This basket only considers food goods and services calculated based on the nutritional requirements for household members.

Total basic basket

Corresponding to a typical household composed by two adults and two children under 8 years old. This basket amplifies the extent of the basic food basket by adding goods and services such as clothes, mobility, health, housing, etc.

Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity (EMAE)

Shows the monthly evolution of the economic activity of all the productive sectors at the national level. This indicator allows anticipating the variation rates of the quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is calculated by the aggregation of the value added at basic prices of each of the economic activities plus the taxes net of subsidies to the products, using the weights of the national accounts of the Argentine Republic with base on 2004. It attempts to replicate the methods for calculating quarterly and / or annual GDP, as long as the availability of information sources for a shorter period allows it. (Extracted from INDEC)

Manufacturing Industrial Production Index (Manufacturing IPI)

It measures the manufacturing industrial sector evolution on a monthly basis and is calculated from the variables of production in physical units, sales in physical units, use of inputs for manufacturing products, apparent consumption, man-hours in the production process and deflated sales at current prices, at national level. All the selected variables provide data on more than 5,000 manufacturing industry establishments. (Extracted from INDEC)

Synthetic Indicator of the Construction Activity (ISAC)

It shows the evolution of the sector taking as a reference the demand for construction supplies. For the calculation of the ISAC are considered the apparent consumption of: ceramic sanitary ware, asphalt, seamless steel pipes, portland cement, round iron for concrete, hollow bricks, ceramic floors and coatings, construction paints, plasterboard and flat glass.(Extracted from INDEC)

Activity rate

It is calculated as a percentage between the economically active population and the total reference population. (Extracted from INDEC)

Employment rate

It is calculated as a percentage between the employed population and the total reference population. (Extracted from INDEC)

Unemployment rate

It is calculated as a percentage between the unemployed population and the economically active population. (Extracted from INDEC)

Incidence of poverty

To calculate the incidence of poverty we follow the methodology used by INDEC (Calculation of the incidence of poverty ). Since there is no information at the provincial level, the incidence by province is approximated by adding the agglomerates surveyed in the EPH.

Primary balance in millions of $

Is calculated as revenue minus total expenditure of the non Financial Public Sector. (from the National Budget Office of the Ministry of Finance) See More.

Primary balance as a % of GDP

Calculated as a percentage between primary balance and the Gross Domestic Product, current prices.

Financial balance in millions of $

Is primary balance plus net interest payable/paid (interest expense minus interest revenue). See More.

Financial balance as a % of GDP

Calculated as a percentage between general government primary net lending/borrowing and the Gross Domestic Product, current prices.

Mide el desempeño del sector manufacturero sobre la base de información proporcionada por empresas líderes, cámaras empresarias y organismos públicos que informan sobre productos e insumos representativos. Este indicador obtiene la evolución en términos de volumen físico de los principales rubros industriales, bloques sectoriales y nivel general de la industria. (Extraído de INDEC)
