Venezuelan inflation was 1.7 % in January, a decrease of 0.7 points compared to December 2023, reported the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV).

With this figure, the country accumulates four consecutive months of slowdown in the increase in prices of goods and services, after having registered a rate of 2.4 % in December, 3.5 % in November and 5.9 % in October, according to official statistics.

The data for the first month of 2024 is 40.4 points below the inflation recorded in January 2023, of 42.1 %, a figure that fell to 19.3 % in February and then remained in single digits during the remaining 10 months of last year.

The sector that registered the greatest increase in prices last month was communications, with an increase of 3.7 %; followed by education, with 3.5 %; alcoholic beverages and tobacco, with an increase of 3.3 %, and health and home equipment, whose prices grew by 2.6 % in January.

The official data varies by almost three points from that released last Tuesday, January 30, by the Venezuelan Finance Observatory (OVF), an independent entity made up of economic experts, which calculated January inflation at 4.2 %.

In December 2021, Venezuela emerged from a hyperinflation that it entered in 2017 and that, for four years, reduced the value of the bolivar, the country’s official currency.

Almost 6.7 million tourists visited Mexico in March of this year, which is 17.8% more than in the same month of the previous year, when slightly less than 5.7 million people traveled to the country, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) of Mexico.

This figure is one of the highest in the last two years, only behind the month of December 2022, when more than 7.2 million travelers were in Mexico. In addition, to date, March has been the month of 2023 in which the country has received the highest number of tourists.

Of the total of 6.7 million, more than 3.5 million were international tourists, 7.9% more than in March of the previous year. Of these, more than 2.4 million came from countries that did not share a border with Mexico, air transport being the main route of entry into the country.

However, and despite the fact that total spending has increased by 9% compared to March 2022, average spending per visitor has fallen to 7.4%. In total, each tourist would have spent an average of $435.42, compared to $470.43 the previous year.

In terms of total spending, this would have risen to 2.91 million dollars. Of this figure, more than 2.5 million dollars came from tourists with whose countries Mexico does not share borders.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Brazil stood at 5.6 % year-on-year in February, a drop of more than one tenth compared to the data for January, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

Thus, Brazilian inflation continues its downward trend, albeit in a very progressive manner. After falling below 7% in October, the index has remained above 5% since last November, with barely a drop of four tenths in the last four months.

For their part, in monthly terms, prices have increased their growth rate compared to January, up to 0.84, three tenths above the previous month, when they increased by 0.53 % per month.

Of the nine groups of products and services investigated, only clothing presented a negative variation, being the second consecutive occasion in which there has been a drop in this division.

Meanwhile, the highest incidence came from the education group (which went from a monthly growth of 0.36 % in January to 6.28 %), followed by far by health and personal care (1.26 %) and communication (0. 98 %). This increase in the education group reflects the adjustments typical of the start of the school year in the country.

Despite the fact that inflation has fallen significantly since mid-2022, the slow disinflationary process of recent months could encourage the Central Bank of Brazil to maintain interest rates at 13.75 %, a figure that is considered high by the Government of Brazil and that has been the cause of controversy in recent weeks. The next monetary policy meeting is scheduled for March 21 and 22.

Air passenger traffic in Latin America reached 31.3 million people transported in January, which is equivalent to 96.4 % of the figure registered in the same month of 2019, prior to the pandemic.

Thus, according to the monthly report prepared by the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA), air traffic in the region slowed down compared to the immediately previous month, when it reached pre-pandemic levels.

In addition, January 2023 was the first month in which another region led the recovery of passengers, this being Africa. Thus, Latin America moved to second place, closely followed by the Middle East and North America, which both registered 95.7 % recovery.

The regions of Europe and Southeast Asia were further behind, although with the reopening of China, it is expected that at least the latter will improve its recovery levels.

Spain will close 2022 as the sixteenth largest economy in the world, two steps below the position it occupied last year in the World Economic League, placing one position behind Mexico, which becomes the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world, according to forecasts from the Center for Economic and Business Research (CEBR).

The British consultancy indicated that the Aztec economy will remain in the same position throughout the horizon of the projections, which reach up to 2037, except for 2027 when it will exchange its position with Spain, to subsequently overtake the Spanish economy and position both countries in 15 years in the same positions as today among the 191 economies analyzed.

In the case of Spain, the CEBR anticipates that the annual rate of GDP growth will fall to an average of 1.7% between 2023 and 2027, while in the rest of the forecast horizon it expects economic growth to slow down even more. , up to an average of 1.5% per year.

At a global level, the consultancy highlights that the world economy will exceed the threshold of 100 trillion dollars for the first time in 2022 and predicts that by 2037 world GDP will reach 207 trillion dollars.

In this sense, the authors warn that by the end of the horizon of their projections, Europe will represent less than a fifth (19.4%) of world GDP in dollars, compared to the 21.9% expected in 2022 and the 33.8 % from 15 years ago.

On the contrary, the picture for the East Asian economies is almost exactly the opposite, with the expectation that the weight of these economies will almost double, going from 19.5% to 33.7% in a range of 30 years until 2037.

In this sense, the World Economic League keeps the United States at the top of the table in 2022, which will retain its privileged position at least until almost the end of the forecast horizon, when it will finally be overtaken by China, which has again seen the game delayed. moment of surprise
