The IMF forecasts Venezuela’s inflation to rise in 2026

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.
