The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts inflation in Venezuela for 2026 at 682.1 %, as reflected in its “World Economic Outlook” report.

“The international organization has also estimated economic growth of 0.5 % for the year 2025 as a whole and a decline of 3 % for the following year.”

The organization warned that “the effects of hyperinflation, the scarcity of reported data, and uncertainty mean that the macroeconomic indicators estimated and projected by the IMF staff should be interpreted with caution.”

In any case, the IMF forecasts include data on the “central government budget, data from Social Security and the Social Protection Fund for Bank Deposits (FOGADE), and figures from a small group of public companies, including Petróleos de Venezuela.”

At the regional level, the organization forecasts growth of 2.4 % and 2.3 % for Latin American and Caribbean countries in 2025 and 2026, respectively, in response to tariff reductions in most countries in the region.

The International Monetary Fund’s economic growth forecasts for Spain are expected to be higher than those for the Eurozone until 2030, thanks to positive deficit and debt forecasts.

In its World Economic Outlook report, the IMF predicts that Spain’s GDP growth will triple that of the Eurozone this year, “with an expansion of 2.5 % in 2025, compared to 0.8 % anticipated for the 2020s, and will see this gap narrow over the following years.”

On the other hand, the organization forecasts that by the end of the decade, Spain’s annual growth will be 1.6 %, while for the eurozone, the expansion would be 1.3 % in 2028, 1.2 % in 2029, and 1.1 % in 2030.

Regarding inflation, prices are expected to rise by 2.2 % in 2025 and 1.9 % in 2026, while they would rise by 2.1 % in 2027.

Regarding the unemployment rate in Spain, the IMF forecasts a decrease to 11.1 % in 2025 and 11 % in 2026. In this context, the number of employed persons is expected to continue to rise to 21.9 million in 2025 and exceed 22 million next year.

Issues such as debt and deficit are also addressed in the IMF report. In this regard, forecasts call for a decline to 2.7 % of GDP this year, “and a further decline in 2026, reaching 2.4 %.” In the case of public debt, this indicator will fall to 100.6 % in 2025 and “will continue to decline relative to GDP over the remainder of the IMF’s projection horizon, reaching 99 % of GDP in 2026.”

In its World Economic Outlook report, the International Monetary Fund maintains Venezuela’s economic growth projection for 2025 at 3 %.

Although the organization has lowered estimates of growth in the Gross Domestic Product at the end of 2024, it expects the projection of the report released on Tuesday, November 26, to be met next year.

The IMF declined to give further details about the country’s economic growth. However, it mentioned inflation of 60 % at the end of 2024, well below the 169% estimated in April thanks, among other factors, to the inflationary slowdown that Venezuela has been experiencing.

The organization does not expect this trend to continue next year and projects an almost identical variation of 60.1 %.
