The Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) reported this Friday that the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) registered a month-on-month variation of 8.9% in August 2026, a figure that reflects a decrease following the two seismic events that affected the national economic activity.
The issuing entity indicated that during August there was a recovery in distribution channels, as well as less pressure in the foreign exchange market, reflected in a more moderate exchange rate fluctuation and the stabilization of prices for goods and services.
According to the BCV, this performance allowed for a return to an inflation rate consistent with the macroeconomic policy actions aimed at price stabilization, after the initial impact that the earthquakes had on the country’s economic dynamics.
