> His monthly electricity bill in Buenos Aires has shot up to 12,000 pesos ($13.50) from 1,100 pesos ($2.50) in November
> Coupled with near 300% annual inflation
> In the first quarter of this year, nearly 18% of households could no longer meet their basic food and energy needs, up from 9.6% registered a year prior
> Estimates from UCA suggest that almost 55.5% - or roughly 25 million people - lived in poverty during the first three months of the year, up 10%
Those are some big jumps in important statistics, something ~40% in some cases.
