Argentina records highest inflation in three decades and could exceed 200% by 2024
Argentina's inflation rate for December soared to 25.5%, culminating in an annual rate of 211.4%, the highest in three decades. Analysts predict that by 2024, the cumulative inflation could reach 213%. This surge has surpassed Venezuela's inflation rate, making Argentina the country with the highest inflation in Latin America. The increase is attributed to a 54% devaluation of the peso and the release of price controls by President Javier Milei's government. The most affected sectors include goods and services, health, and transport, with food and non-alcoholic beverages seeing the highest price hikes. The government and private analysts warn that inflation will remain high for several months, with a projected 20% rate for January 2024.

Venezuelan credit cards only 'good for unlocking a door if it gets jammed': economist
In Venezuela, credit is virtually non-existent, with the credit portfolio barely reaching 1.5% of GDP, the lowest in Latin America. Despite a slight economic rebound in 2022, credit did not take off. Economist Alejandro Castro emphasizes the importance of credit for revitalizing the Venezuelan economy. President Nicolás Maduro has encouraged banks to finance small entrepreneurs, but progress is limited. The economy fell 7 points in the first half of 2023, entering a recession, according to the independent Observatorio Venezolano de Finanzas. Mobile applications like Cashea, a 'buy now, pay later' platform, are emerging to meet loan demands, offering credit between $50 to $200, targeting those earning $100 to $400 monthly. However, marketing these apps is challenging due to Venezuela's poor internet connectivity.

Retired Teachers in Venezuela: Forced to Return to the Classroom or Find Another Profession
In Venezuela, retired teachers are severely affected by the devaluation of the bolívar and low salaries, forcing many to return to teaching or seek alternative employment. Active and retired educators have protested for years, demanding higher wages and a new collective contract from the Ministry of Education. Retired teachers, like Luis López, find their pensions insufficient, leading them to pursue other jobs. Raquel Figueroa of the UDSE highlights the dire conditions of retired educators and calls for the government to fulfill its constitutional obligations. The government, represented by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, blames US sanctions for the economic hardships but promises that funds are directed to workers. The educational sector remains divided, with some supporting President Maduro and others continuing to demand improved conditions.

How Venezuelans are preparing for this Christmas
