ARGENTINA | Inflation. Inflation amounted to 0.3% in December, bringing the annual figure to 7.2% in 2008, according to the national statistics institute, Indec. This falls neatly within the central bank's projection of 7% to 11% inflation in 2008. Private analysts accuse the government of manipulating the figures. They claim the real figure is three times that released by Indec.
