Le Venezuela parie sur la dédollarisation après l'application de la taxe sur les devises étrangères et la cryptographie

Le gouvernement du Venezuela concentre désormais son action sur la tentative d'établir le bolivar comme monnaie de référence pour les achats dans le pays. Selon plusieurs économistes, this might be a risky bet in a country that has just exited hyperinflation and still suffers high levels of inflation. toutefois, the establishment of a 3% tax targeting expenses in foreign currency and crypto is having some effects in this regard.

Venezuela Seeks to Strengthen Its Fiat Currency

After having defacto dollarization, which the president of the country called an “escape valve” from the economic crisis that Venezuela had faced five years ago, now the country is seeking to establish its fiat currency, the bolivar, as an interesting choice for payments. A new tax called the IGTF, which seeks to tax transactions and payments made in dollars, monnaie étrangère, et crypto à 3% in some instances, seems directed to aid in achieving this purpose.

toutefois, this might not yet be the time for such adjustments, now that Venezuela is just exiting a period of hyperinflation that was also combined with the devaluation of its fiat currency, which had to be redenominated a pair of times. Asdrubal Oliveros, a national economist who manages Ecoanalitica, a consulting firm, declared:

It is a risky bet, with bad timing, because the recovery is very weak and the economy is still suffering from chronic inflation, not hyperinflation, but chronic inflation. It is very high to restore confidence in the currency from one day to the next.

De-Dollarization in Progress

toutefois, the measure seems to be having a real effect on the spending patterns of Venezuelans. According to numbers presented by the bank superintendence, the use of the national fiat currency has shown a rise after the tax was presented and started being applied. Numbers show that digital transactions in local currency increased by 21%, and debit payments by 22%.

The utilization of the bolivar has been steadily climbing since 2021 when 70% of the purchases were made with dollars or Colombian pesos. Surveys from Ecoanalitica now show that the bolivar and other payment methods trump the dollar, which is now only being used in 44.7% of the commercial transactions in the country. This is due in part to the intervention of the central bank of the country to stabilize the fiat currency, whose volatility has stabilized against the dollar this year.
