Inflation for July was 19.9 %, according to the report issued by the Central Bank of Venezuela on August 12. The institution projects a decrease in the indicator, which was accelerated as a consequence of the June 24 earthquakes.

The announcement was made through the BCV’s website and official channels, where it reported on “the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) and its month-on-month variation.”

The inflation variation was due to the two earthquakes that affected the distribution of goods.

Data from the Central Bank of Venezuela on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) at the end of April places the indicator above 10 %, representing a slight decrease in inflation compared to previous months.

The regulatory body placed the year-on-year inflation rate (April 2025-April 2026) at 612 %, “which also signifies a slowdown compared to the previous month when it reached 650 %.” Data for January shows an average price increase of 32.6 %, followed by 14.6 % in February and 13.1 % in March.

The decline in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in April is attributed to market interventions aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate.

Thanks to auction mechanisms, it is expected that “approximately $1.3 billion per week will enter the market to continue stabilizing the devaluation of the bolivar and further slowing the rise in prices, according to unofficial sources.”

The data in the Fed minutes in the United States show the institution’s willingness to make further interest rate cuts before the end of the year.

However, “the governing body emphasized that the impact of tariffs on prices is still uncertain and that high levels of inflation could be more persistent than expected.”

During the last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members of the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), on September 17, they indicated their willingness to lower interest rates again this year, although with some fear that inflation could pick up.

The majority of participants in the meeting indicated that “it would be appropriate to further ease policy during the remainder of the year,” without neglecting the upside risks to their inflation outlook.

In the committee vote, those responsible for national monetary policy voted 11 to 1 for a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates “and leaving them in the range of 4% to 4.25%, the first cut in 2025.”

The results of last month’s meeting on macroeconomic projections left the path is open to “two more quarter-point cuts by the end of the year within their baseline scenario. However, six of the 19 participants projected one cut or none at all.”

In September, eurozone inflation exceeded analysts’ projections, closing the month with a 2.2 % increase. This trend was driven by rising prices for goods and services, particularly energy costs.

According to the European Central Bank (ECB) forecasts, “Eurozone inflation is expected to average 2.1 % in 2025, 1.7 % in 2026, and 1.9 % in 2027.  As for the underlying inflation rate, the projection is 2.4 %, 1.9 %, and 1.8 % in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.”

The eurozone manufacturing sector is entering a contraction, with no signs of stabilization in sight for the region’s countries, due to a decline in new orders.

In addition to these factors, there are the consequences of tariffs imposed by the US government, internal problems in each country, armed conflicts, and fluctuations in global energy demand.
