¿Qué es la deflación?

La deflación o inflación negativa, en economía, es un descenso generalizado y prolongado de los precios de bienes y servicios.

Sin embargo, para que se convierta en deflación esta tendencia deberá mantenerse, como mínimo, dos semestres, según el FMI.

Aunque queda un pequeño margen de duda por la forma en que el Indec medirá la suba de las tarifas de gas.

Los analistas explican que hay probabilidades de que en mayo se genere un verdadero derrumbe de precios y la inflación podría ubicarse en un rango de 5% o 6%, impensado hace solo un par de meses atrás.

El ministro de Economía, Luis Caputo decidió postergar el aumento del Impuesto a la Transferencia de Combustibles (ITC) para evitar un impacto mayor en las naftas.

Tampoco aplicó la suba en tarifas de luz y de gas de sectores medios, que se había anunciado en mayo. Y obligó a las prepagas a dar marcha atrás con aumentos, lo que en principio también jugaría a favor del índice de este mes.
