The Central Bank of Venezuela reported that inflation for the month of May stood at 6.3%, a figure that represents the lowest record obtained in the last 19 months. This indicator confirms the effectiveness of the control and monetary policy measures applied by the National Executive, which have allowed a marked downward trend in price behavior in the domestic market, formally entering a sustained phase of slowdown.

This result is the product of a comprehensive strategy designed to strengthen exchange rate stability and ensure balance in the financial system. The adjustment in monetary expansion policy and the prioritization of domestic production have been decisive factors in reducing inflationary pressures, favoring the progressive recovery of workers' purchasing power and improving conditions for the country's commercial development.

The private sector and economic agents have shown a positive reception to these indicators, recognizing the impact of coordination between financial institutions and ministerial portfolios responsible for the productive area.

By optimizing supply mechanisms and stimulating local manufacturing, it seeks to shield the national economy from external distortions, ensuring that this path of deceleration is maintained for the rest of the fiscal year.

The projection for the coming months points to the consolidation of these advances, focusing efforts on maintaining fiscal discipline and macroeconomic order.

The stability achieved during the closing of the month of May translates into an environment of greater certainty for investment, allowing the State to project balanced growth that promotes social justice and the integral well-being of all sectors of Venezuelan society.
