annual rates in the single figures in latin america, it is a different story. prices in argentina rose by 6.7 percent in march alone, putting the country on cost or inflation of over 60 percent this year. as their spending power plummets, argentinians are taking to the streets. they are sharing their meals and their concerns. demonstrate a sienna gen tina's capital bonus iris are demanding more support from the government as inflation and constantly arising from prices drive people to despair . never forget what, oh no matter how much we produce, we're still poor poorer and poorer because inflation is eating away from your home or is it the salaries? wherever you are, were you that in 2021. inflation was over 50 percent. the central bank has already raised the key interest rate 3 times this year, but even a staggering 44.5 percent is not enough to compensate for inflation. the situation
5:18 am
is just as bleak in other latin american countries, peru us also experiencing historically high inflation. prices of sugar, potatoes, and carrots have doubled. meat has become an affordable for many with a boon daily, that healing the rise of inflation room is the same. the whole world has been experiencing since the 2nd half of 2021. and it's worse and due to the russia, ukraine, war era, ruthie, i will get on you many residents, so for a sub ups in lima can no longer afford to go to cheap soup kitchens. some of them even had to close. they were no longer able to buy enough affordable ingredients as a discussed situation, knowledge and tina and beyond and joined in the studio by have yeah, i'll get us from the d. w. spanish service. thank you very much for joining us in the studio. can you just take us through how argentina has found itself in such an
5:19 am
extreme situation when it comes to inflation? well, of course, a situation like this doesn't happen over night. it's a wide array of mistakes in the past by argentina, but also by international lenders. and other governments that has led to this ultimate but there are 2 important aspects. first of all, argentina for decades has been spending far more than it can afford. and the country has been trying to relief all those economic problems by issuing more money on the 1st place, which of course causes inflation. and then also by acquiring more debt that the country has not really been able to pay for at least not in an orderly way. the immediate consequence is a lack of trust by international financial markets and investors who don't want to bring money into argentina, which is needed. and most importantly, there is no trust within argentinians themselves in their own currency. they try to save money and to buy products and services with us dollars, for example, instead of the national vessel. and this further weakens the currency and therefore
5:20 am
it causes more inflation and says, looking to sort of vicious cycle, isn't it? interest rates of already 44.5 percent. so where can the central bank or the government actually go to get on top of this? unfortunately, there's not much the central bank or the government can do at this point because this latest spike in inflation is international and it is caused by external factors. i mean, if we want to buy a bottle of water in the vending machines here at the w, we have to pay a 10 percent more and we're not in argentina, we're in germany, right? so there's a limited range of action, but there is an internal problem within the argentinean government, especially between the president of benefit man this and his vice president could be seen of it. and under the kitchener, apparently there is no harmony within the government. and that again, it's a problem of trust causes even more lack of confidence in that the government has a plan and then it can actually implement any of the measures that will bring relief. it's not just argentina, there is that, i mean, inflation is particularly acute across latin america, one of the implications of that. well, the 1st implication, unfortunately,
5:21 am
is that we'll have more poverty across the continent. because if people can't afford their most basic goods, they fall under the poverty line. but this can also lead to social unrest. and this is a problem in latin america because it can cause political instability. not only because people can essentially revolt against the acting government, but also because it can be easily used by populous candidates from the left or the right to actually make use of that discomfort among the populations. and therefore, put a government in place that can worsen eventually the problems in the countries. ok to us. thank you very much for taking us through one of them. now let's take a look at some of the other global business stories making the news. a group of twitter shareholders are suing a long musk, accusing him a failing to announce his recent acquisition of twitter shares in a timely manner. doing so would put him in violation of us securities laws. must cat announced at the beginning of april. he held 9 percent of the company stock,
