In November, new rate increases are expected for services such as gas, water, electricity, transport, health insurance, and private education. The government describes these increases as a recovery of delayed prices, while hoping that inflation will continue to decrease, remaining below 3% in the last quarter of 2024.
The average cost for water and sewage service will reach approximately 21,410 pesos next month. Variations in rates impact users differently; for example, those who only have water service will experience different increases depending on their area.
A 2.5% adjustment in electricity rates and a 2.7% adjustment in gas rates are expected, as confirmed by the government. Additionally, increases in fuel prices are anticipated, with a possible rise of between 3.5% and 3.8% in gasoline prices.
Starting from November 1, taxis in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires will increase their rates by 50%. This adjustment is in addition to a similar increase that took place in August. Other services such as health insurance and cable are also announcing new increases for next month, exceeding monthly inflation.
After intense negotiations, a new collective agreement was signed for domestic workers, with a 6% salary increase that will be applied in two phases.
