How are you continuing, today I come to tell you about the hyperinflation that exists in my country Venezuela, something that reaches truly incredible figures since our country lives on oil income, low production and low oil extraction , makes living in the South American country a true odyssey.
The numbers are really alarming since the country has the worst numbers in the entire region, and countries like El Salvador, which do not have any of the natural resources that Venezuela has, are well above the data of the South American country.
Only in the month of December was observed a general inflation higher than 50% in and the basic basket the numbers were more alarming since an increase of 230% was observed, all this in local currency the Bs since in dollars the inflation was close at 30%.
Something that is really worrying since the last quarter of the year oil remained with stable numbers after that rise that registered more than $90 per barrel of oil.
One of the hardest-hit sectors was education, in which the national government owes educators various bonuses, not to mention the retroactive bonuses, and all this with a monthly salary of less than 10 dollars.
Below official government data.
Datos oficiales
At the time of writing this note, the price of the dollar is around 20.10 bs for each dollar, 3% more than yesterday.
In Venezuela there is a risk of returning to hyperinflation where the salary of a Venezuelan did not even reach 2 dollars a month.
