La canasta básica sube 617 córdobas en un año: ni tres salarios mínimos alcanzan para cubrirla
En solo un año, el costo de la canasta básica saltó a más de 20,500 córdobas, mientras los salarios siguen congelados. El poder adquisitivo se desploma y el aguinaldo apenas servirá para tapar huecos en los bolsillos de las familias.
TL;DR
- The cost of the basic necessities basket in Nicaragua reached 20,558 córdobas in October.
- This represents a 617 córdoba increase compared to the previous year.
- The 23 basic food items cost 14,559 córdobas, exceeding all minimum salaries in the country.
- Even higher-earning sectors like construction and finance have average salaries below the cost of basic food items.
- The year-end aguinaldo is expected to inject over 17 billion córdobas into the economy but is unlikely to cover a full month's expenses for many.
- The clothing segment of the basket saw a slight increase due to approaching year-end festivities.
