TL;DR

  • Venezuelan economist José Guerra warns of economic risks despite a favorable outlook driven by increased oil exports and recent economic announcements.
  • The behavior of the official dollar and its impact on inflation is a key concern, with the official exchange rate increasing by 23% in January 2026 compared to December 2025.
  • While the gap between the official and parallel dollar has narrowed, this adjustment does not solve the underlying problem.
  • The official dollar has increased by 540% from January 2025 to January 2026, creating a high inflationary floor for the current year.
  • If the Central Bank maintains a monthly devaluation rate above 20%, inflation in 2026 could reach approximately 1,100% due to the compounding effect of exchange rate adjustments.
  • Selling dollars at increasingly higher prices directly impacts final prices, reducing purchasing power.
  • Limited foreign currency injections are insufficient without a comprehensive public policy framework.
  • There is an absence of a coherent fiscal, monetary, and exchange rate plan to sustain stability.
  • Without a solid plan, salary deterioration will continue, and productive reactivation will be unviable.
  • Salaries and pensions must increase to boost aggregate demand for industrial reactivation, employment growth, and sustainable economic recovery.
