Buenos Aires, Argentina – A significant surge in real wages was announced today, as salaries across Argentina increased by a remarkable 3% in June 2025, according to the Wage Index published by INDEC. This growth, which far surpassed the monthly inflation rate of 1.6%, is being hailed as a clear victory for President Javier Milei’s economic policies, directly translating into a substantial improvement in the purchasing power of Argentine workers.

The data reveals a compelling narrative of economic recovery and stabilization. While inflation saw an interannual variation of 39.4%, salaries registered a robust interannual increase of 60.7%, indicating that workers’ incomes are not only keeping pace with prices but are now recovering ground lost during years of economic turmoil.

The increase was particularly impactful for the most vulnerable sectors, with a notable 8.9% rise in salaries for non-registered workers, an achievement that highlights the government’s broad-based approach to economic recovery. The private registered sector saw a 1.7% increase, and the public sector a 1.3% increase, underscoring a positive trend across the board. This data from June consolidates a context of sustained economic improvement and provides a strong foundation for optimism in the months ahead.
