The annual inflation rate in Venezuela fell to 2358.5 percent in July 2020 from 2354.8 percent in the previous month, according to the Central Bank. The government announced new price controls on food products on April 24th, the first time in two years, as the coronavirus outbreak and an acute gasoline shortage cause inflation to accelerate. The government relaxed almost two decades of stringent economic regulation last year, abandoning enforcement of price controls and allowing dollar transactions. Also, the government has sharply curtailed circulation of the domestic currency, which helped limit prices but left many people struggling to obtain bolivars. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 19.6 percent in July, after a 25.1 percent gain in the prior month.
Inflation Rate in Venezuela averaged 3742.55 percent from 1973 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 344509.50 percent in February of 2019 and a record low of 3.22 percent in February of 1973.
