The head of the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses of Argentina (Indec), the body responsible for the official measurement of inflation in the country, resigned this Monday. Marco Lavagna had held the position since 2019.

Lavagna was responsible for the changes in the calculation of inflation in Argentina, and there are suspicions that the first announcement with the new index will be manipulated because an inflationary pressure has already been perceived that will not be measured by the new index.
