Reajustados

Reajustados is a Spanish adjective meaning "re‑adjusted" or "readjusted," commonly used to describe quantities, rates or values that have been modified again after an initial adjustment. The term appears frequently in economics, finance and public policy contexts, especially in relation to wages, prices, taxes, pensions and social benefits. In Spanish-speaking countries it indicates that a previous change has taken place and a new level has been set to reflect current circumstances such as inflation, cost‑of‑living, market conditions or fiscal considerations.

In labor contexts, salary reajustados refer to wage increases applied after an initial raise or after a period of stagnation. They are often stipulated in collective bargaining agreements, governmental decrees, or statutory provisions. For example, in Argentina, the monthly minimum salary has undergone multiple reajustes to keep pace with the rapid inflationary environment. Similar mechanisms exist for consumer goods, where reajustados are used in official price monitoring systems to maintain baseline product values.

Public benefit programs also use the expression. Pension amounts, unemployment compensation, and subsidies are reajustados annually or periodically according to predefined indices such as the consumer price index (CPI). These adjustments aim to preserve purchasing power and maintain the real value of benefits against changing economic conditions.

In macroeconomic statistics, reajustados figures are employed in comparative analyses to control for inflation and render cross‑period data comparable. Analysts calculate "real" or "adjusted" values by applying a deflator, thereby presenting a neutral view of growth or decline over time. The practice ensures that reporting reflects underlying economic performance rather than nominal fluctuations.
