The South American country is battling annual inflation of 124%, which has pushed poverty levels over 40% and is raising the chance that voters deliver a shock to the political elite by backing a radical outsider in general elections next month. Argentina - battling a looming recession and dwindling reserves of foreign currency - saw poverty hit 40.1% in the first half of 2023, or nearly 12 million people, official data on Wednesday showed.
