The president in charge of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, announced a 26% increase in the minimum income in the country, although the measure raises doubts. Rodríguez stated that it refers to a “comprehensive minimum income,” which includes state bonds. Before the adjustment, this income was around $190 and will now rise to $240 per month, but the minimum base wage remains practically unchanged and is equivalent to just a few cents on the dollar. This implies that a large part of the increase depends on bonuses that do not affect labor benefits. The increase is below the expectations of workers and retirees, especially because the cost of the basic basket in Venezuela far exceeds that amount, standing at 600 dollars per month.
