The Executive Vice President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, denied the Bloomberg international agency for a biased headline published this Thursday about the Venezuelan economy, and invited its managers and journalists to rectify, since the inflation figures in the country demonstrate the gradual and progressive recovery of economic conditions despite the damage of the US imperial blockade against the nation:
“I want to take the opportunity to respond as a Venezuelan woman and minister in charge of economy and finance, to respond to the Bloomberg agency that yesterday tried to spread bad economic news about Venezuela, titling that there was deflation in the country,” explained the senior government official, in a brief testimonial video published on their social networks.
Rodríguez warned that the real and positive news is that February inflation registered downwards, 1.2%, as reported by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), which is a demonstration of the deceleration of this index, but the agency tried negativizing it and, on top of that, taking as a basis supposed specialized organizations of the Venezuelan extremist opposition:
“I want to tell the Bloomberg agency, as a specialized economics and finance agency, they know very well that there is no deflation in Venezuela… we are in a process of slowing inflation to improve conditions and we are welcoming the month of February with double-digit annualized inflation, something that has not been seen since 2015,” she explained in the video posted on his account @DelcyRodriguezV.

This represents 1,215 million dollars collected, which shows the reactivation of economic activity, within the process of gradual and buoyant economic recovery that the country is experiencing thanks to the efforts of the Venezuelan people:
“Therefore we reject that kind of headlines and we call on them to be serious, to professionalism” strongly urged Rodríguez, to prevent these false headlines from sowing doubts or intentional damage about the Venezuelan economy in this 2024, which is currently unfolding. for the presidential election route.
“Leave the political campaign and hatred aside and start giving positive news wherever and whenever they are,” demanded the Executive Vice President of the Republic.
