Los venezolanos están más preocupados por la economía navideña que por EE. UU.
El notable aumento de precios, el alza del dólar y la presión por las compras realizadas para el 24 de diciembre y fin de año, enmarcan una atípica Navidad en Venezuela adelantada desde el 1 de octubre por orden del presidente Nicolás Maduro, en medio de las constantes tensiones con Estados Unidos y su despliegue militar cercano a este país.
TL;DR
- Venezuelan Christmas shopping is occurring amidst notable price increases and currency devaluation.
- Citizens are buying traditional items like hallacas but in smaller amounts to manage their budget.
- Vendors report lower profits and some have had to reduce staff due to the economic downturn.
- The bolívar has lost significant value against the dollar in 2025.
- While some citizens are nervous about geopolitical tensions with the US, many have learned to live with the situation.
- Multiple pricing strategies exist, with some merchants offering better rates for dollar payments.
- Despite economic challenges, there is still a desire to purchase gifts for children.
