The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
In a move set to exacerbate Argentina’s already significant inflation woes, state-run oil company YPF has increased fuel prices at the pump by an average of 25%. This dramatic escalation comes as the country grapples with an inflation rate projected to exceed 180% this year.
A YPF source confirmed the decision to raise fuel prices comes ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Javier Milei. The move also follows similar price hikes implemented by other oil companies operating in Argentina, with nationwide average increases hovering around 20%.
While the reasons behind YPF’s decision were not explicitly provided, the inflationary environment and global energy market fluctuations are likely contributing factors. The war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on Russia have significantly disrupted global energy supply chains, leading to increased prices for oil and other commodities.
This latest fuel price increase is likely to significantly impact Argentines already struggling to make ends meet. Transportation costs are expected to rise, potentially impacting the prices of goods and services across various sectors. Individuals and businesses reliant on personal vehicles for daily activities will also face a heavier financial burden.
The government’s response to the fuel price hike remains unclear. However, this development will certainly intensify the economic challenges facing Argentina and contribute to a growing sense of frustration amongst the population.
