Venezuela’s monthly inflation rate slowed to 14.6% in February 2026, down sharply from 32.6% in January, according to data released by the country’s monetary authority, which had not published inflation figures since late 2024. Despite the monthly slowdown, annual inflation accelerated to 617.9% in February, up from 594.8% the previous month, while prices rose 51.9% in the first two months of 2026. The delayed data come amid major political changes, after the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a January raid, triggering negotiations between Washington and Caracas to restore diplomatic and consular relations.
