Venezuela’s May Inflation Stands at 6.3%, Lowest in 19 Months
The statement mentioned that the economic cabinet discussed the 14 engines of the Bolivarian economic agenda, a diversification model to strengthen the Venezuelan economy and to transform the country into an exporting power.
The economy cabinet meeting occurs amid ongoing currency speculation and black market exchange rates distorting the inflationary situation in the country despite a major increase in available US dollars in the economy. In this scenario, the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), the currency issuing authority, decided to introduce a $1,000/month withdrawal limit for each person on Monday, ostensibly to curb financial speculation. However, the decision was reversed within 48 hours, generating criticisms regarding the BCV’s lack of planning.
