Venezuela's Economy Grows More Than 7% in Q4, Central Bank Says
05-Mar-2026

Venezuela's economy grew 7.07% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, the central bank said on Wednesday, reporting a 19th consecutive quarter of growth even as analysts estimate far lower expansion and triple-digit inflation. The quarterly economic growth, the central bank said, was driven by oil activities, which rose 13.41% year-on-year, while non-oil activity grew 5.3% supported by construction and mining. Local analyst firms, however, estimate much more modest economic growth and consumer price rises above 400% last year as the country has suffered a long economic decline.
