🇦🇷🔺Argentine Social Pyramid Q2 2025: Key Findings



Income and Economic Situation



⛔️50% of Argentines live on less than $1,120,600 ($933 USD) per month, according to data from the Moiguer consulting firm for the second quarter of 2025.



⛔️Half of the population cannot make ends meet, highlighting severe budgetary constraints.



⛔️30% of Argentines admit they have had to give up basic necessities, reflecting the impact of inflation and the loss of purchasing power.



Contrasts and Polarization



⛔️23% of respondents report regularly buying US dollars, a practice linked to seeking protection against economic instability and the devaluation of the peso.



⛔️11% say they make purchases abroad, marking a significant gap compared to the majority who struggle to cover essential needs.



📣The Argentine social pyramid in the second quarter of 2025 shows marked polarization: while half the population lives with very limited income and struggles to make ends meet, a minority can access foreign currency and shop abroad. These figures reflect the impact of the economic crisis, inflation, and growing inequality in the country.

Thank you for posting the truth @earlyretirement. Something I like about you is you always post facts. I can't tell from your X posts if you like Milei or not.🤣 Every time I think you are a Milei fan I read a brilliant post that makes you realize how much of a conman he really is.

These statistics don't look too good. My friends there tell me they are on hard times. Most have cut out going out to eat.

This probably matches what my friends are telling me here in BA. Probably half don't make it to the end of the month easily with all their bills. This is a very ugly statistic. Thanks for sharing Mike.

This country used to be affordable. Milei keeps making the price on everything go higher and higher. Private health insurance for the first time we see our patients telling us they have to cancel their private medical plans. Disgusting what Milei and Caputo are doing to Argentina.
