Argentina's shelved CPI basket shows a smaller 2024 disinflation than the official index

INDEC's 2017/18 weights were never adopted. They give more weight to utilities and transport, not less. Reweighting puts 2024 inflation near 128%, not 117.8%, and moves about 15 points of the disinflation into 2025.
