Venezuela’s Economy Continues Booming as Growth Hits 9.2%

Caracas, Venezuela, August 19, 2006—Venezuela’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 9.2% last quarter, while inflation and unemployment have both dropped three points over the last year, according to the National Institute of Statistics (INE). This means Venezuela remains one of the world’s fastest growing economies. It has grown consistently for almost three years now.

Sustained high oil prices have provided a bonanza in dollars for the government and that undoubtedly fuels the rest of the economy. But growth in the oil industry—aside from actual oil production—was slow at 1.8%, while the non-oil sector grew by 9.9%. And, contradicting the socialist rhetoric of President Hugo Chávez the private sector grew by 10.3%, more than twice as fast as the public sector, which grew at only 4.6%.

However, though unemployment did fall 3 points over the previous twelve months from 12.6% to 9.6%, there aren’t enough jobs being created to absorb the young people leaving schools and universities. So, even though some 280,000 new jobs were created last year in the formal sector, 400,000 young people joined the world of work.

High growth rates are often associated with an increase in inflation due to the increase in demand for goods. And there has been an increase in that demand, but the Venezuelan government has battled with inflation, using exchange controls to fix the Bolívar (the local currency) at 2,150 to the dollar and regulating the banks so as to control the money supply. Price controls on food staples and the low price government subsidised Mercal stores also keep prices down. Mercal stores now account for about 50% of Venezuela’s grocery sales. Consequently, inflation has fallen from 14% to 11% over the last twelve months.

The artificially low value of the Bolívar has costs, however, as it makes imports cheaper relative to domestic goods. This may account for the relatively low 6.9% growth in domestic manufacturing.

"Overall, there are no significant investments in the manufacturing sector. This sector is using more than their installed capacity, but you can notice that in Maracay and Valencia (two north-central Venezuelan cities hosting major industrial zones) no new manufacturing plants have been built,” said Emilio Medina, economist at Carabobo University.

For an example of this, look no further than the balance of trade with the United States. Chávez may refer to President George W Bush as “Mr. Danger” and Bush may call Chávez a dictator, but trade between the two countries is soaring, reaching over $40 billion last year. Oil accounts for most Venezuelan exports to the US, but non-oil exports also increased by 116% in 2005.

In return, Venezuela imports many industrial products from the US. Car imports have significantly increased over the last year. General Motors sales have risen 28%. Computers and construction equipment imports have also grown from $4.8 billion to $6.4 billion.

So it would seem that capitalism is alive and kicking in Venezuela. But Chávez is a contradictory character. CANTV, the main Venezuelan telecommunications company, is in a dispute with its workers over pensions payments. The courts sided with the workers over the dispute, but the company has still failed to pay. Chávez intervened, saying, “If they don’t fulfill what is required, I’m going to nationalize CANTV.”

Mobile subscribers up 60% year-on-year, fixed lines up 10%

The number of mobile subscribers in Venezuela increased by 60% year-on-year to 15.8 million, or around 60% of the population, in the second quarter of 2006, regulator Conatel said in a statement. It added that the mobile sector’s 2Q revenues reached USD1.53 billion, up 22.3% over last year, and investments rose 46.7% to USD206 million. According to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms database, mobile market leader Movistar had 7.065 million customers at the end of June, closely trailed by CANTV subsidiary Movilnet with 6.57 million, whilst third placed Digitel had around two million users.

Conatel reported that fixed lines experienced growth, rising 10.3% from 2Q 2005 to 3.854 million, or around 14 lines per 100 inhabitants. The number of dial-up and broadband internet subscribers increased 33% to 703,930 from the previous year. The watchdog expects to see more growth in areas where access to telephony and internet services is currently low. Earlier this week it announced plans to invest USD100 million in expanding internet and fixed line penetration.

Tourist Activity Gains Expansion in Venezuela

Caracas, Aug 20 (Prensa Latina) The tourist activity in Venezuela reveals signs of expansion in the first semester of 2006, supported in an increase of 5.3 percent in the attendance of foreign tourists compared to 2005.

Data published by the local Ministry of Tourism counted a number of 348,000 foreign tourists to Venezuela.

The sector grew in 10.2 percent, with 32 more than million people involved in all the states of Venezuela.

Authorities estimated at least there was an increase of 18.9 percent in the first half of 2006, with 2.5 billion dollars.

Ricardo Cusanno, president of the Venezuelan National Hotels Federation, said that the tourist destinations with a greater affluence got an occupation rate reaching between 80 and 82 percent, which equals to the most significant increase since 1995.

La economía en 2006
Pedro A. Palma

Lunes, 9 de enero de 2006

A los fines de estimar la posible evolución de corto plazo de la economía venezolana hemos configurado un escenario en el que, suponemos, puede desenvolverse ésta durante el año 2006. Los principales supuestos que lo conforman son: 1- el precio promedio de los hidrocarburos se mantendrá en el alto nivel alcanzado en 2005; 2- la producción de crudos experimentará un ligero incremento, y 3- la política de franca expansión de gasto público continuará a lo largo de este año electoral, siendo muy probable que donde mayor dinamismo se note sea en el área de subsidios y transferencias, a través de las cada vez más numerosas “misiones” gubernamentales.

De darse estas presunciones, muchas de las realidades económicas vividas en 2005 se repetirían en el año que recién comienza. El sólido aumento de las erogaciones internas del sector público implicaría una inyección masiva de recursos a la economía, haciendo que la oferta monetaria en poder del público vuelva a mostrar un fuerte aumento, manteniendo los intereses en niveles bajos. Esto, a su vez, estimularía considerablemente el consumo privado, haciendo que la demanda interna muestre un alto dinamismo, y que la actividad productiva vuelva a experimentar un crecimiento de importancia, aun cuando no tan intenso como en el año precedente.

La inflación, por su parte, seguiría siendo la más elevada de las padecidas por las principales economías latinoamericanas, pero podría mantenerse en niveles similares a los de 2005. Los masivos subsidios, el abaratamiento de las importaciones a través de la mayor sobrevaluación del bolívar dada la fijación del tipo de cambio oficial, los controles de precios cada vez más estrictos, y los esfuerzos de esterilización monetaria del BCV evitarían un repunte inflacionario de importancia, a pesar del alto crecimiento de la liquidez. Por su parte, las transacciones externas seguirían mostrando resultados favorables, aun cuando no con la intensidad de 2005. La estabilidad de las exportaciones petroleras y las desbocadas importaciones se encargarían de moderar los superávits comercial y de cuenta corriente.

En resumen, la expansión del gasto público posibilitada por la coyuntura petrolera favorable seguiría siendo el factor locomotor de la economía, pero, repitiendo lo ya tantas veces dicho, lo insostenible de esa situación en los años por venir hacen prever tiempos más difíciles a mediano plazo.


Inflazione in venezuela:

15% nel 2005

a oggi gia l'8%

e questo con prezzi del petrolio altissimi!

In venezuela entrano, col petrolio a 20$ al barile, circa 1000$ ANNO per persona!

L'economia venezuelana è fortemente dipendente dalle esportazioni di petrolio e attualmente NULLA si sta facendo per lo sviluppo.

La causa principale è il cambio fisso col dollaro 2150 Bs per 1$

Mentre il cambio "nero" viaggia attorno alle 2800 Bs per 1$.

Cosa significa: significa che se volete importare per es.pasta italiana, pagandola in dollari, dovete pagare 2800 Bs a qualcuno (del governo) a cui la banca centrale vende $ agevolati e che incasserà 300 Bs (10 cent di $) senza far NESSUNA fatica.

In questo modo si stanno costruendo oggi fortune immense alle spese dei creduloni del MVR e dei venezolani, mentre gli interventi "sociali" sono quelli che piacciono tanto ai nostri "sinistri"....briciole di carità...pelosa. Inoltre i prezzi "calmierati" permettono di creare un canale di distribuzione "alternativo"...mi spiego: se vendo 2000 kg di riso agevolato sul mercato "popular" di Petare (Caracas) ne dirotto, a prezzo del grossista, più alto del prezzo poular, 1000 a vari negozi della Guaira o di Baruta e incasso l'utile...così da borrachon Chavista piano piano divento grasso borghese.

Mma la cosa simpatica è che si fa il tutto al riparo delle bandiere rosse e quando arriverà il patatrac (e basta che il petrolio torni a 30$) indovinate di chi sarà la colpa?

Ma siii proprio suaaa...del Liberismooo!!
