The government of Nicolás Maduro has recently announced an increase in the cestaticket and the bonus against the Economic War, which results in a total of 60 dollars a month for workers.
However, an analysis carried out indicates that this amount is barely enough to buy 10 basic basket products, which is 8.5 times more expensive than the decreed increase.
How does this affect Venezuelan citizens?
The basic basket in Venezuela is located at 510.88 dollars, according to Cendas-FVM, which greatly exceeds the increase of 60 dollars announced by the government.
A tour of western Caracas shows that, with the new monthly income of citizens, it is barely possible to buy products such as PAN flour, eggs, sugar, hard cheese, coffee, pasta, butter, and meat.
The duration of these products in the pantry resulted from the number of members of each family nucleus, but in general it will not be enough to cover basic food needs.
Despite the increase announced by the government, Venezuelan citizens face difficulties in acquiring the basic products necessary for their subsistence.
The basic food basket continues to be inaccessible to the majority of the population, reflecting the serious economic situation in the country. More effective measures are required to address this problem and improve the living conditions of citizens.
