Argentina - Housing Construction Cost Index MoM

Argentina's Housing Construction Cost Index increased by 1.47% month-over-month in August 2025. This follows a 1.62% month-over-month rise in July 2025. Inflation and currency volatility are key drivers of construction material costs. Labor costs also contribute to price increases. While a stronger dollar may temporarily lower US dollar-denominated construction costs, local inflation quickly impacts input prices. The cost per square meter has reached record levels, affecting developer profitability and housing affordability. Argentina's record low Housing Construction Cost Index MoM was -1.16% in April 2020 and record high was 30.65% in December 2023.
