Buying power of Bs. 1 in 2007

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for Bs. 1 in 2007 (price index tracking began in 1979).

For example, if you started with Bs. 1, you would need to end with Bs. 0.47 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When Bs. 1 is equivalent to Bs. 0.47 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Venezuelan bolivar decreases over time. In other words, a bolivar will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a bolivar over time. By calculating the value in 2007 dollars, the chart below shows how Bs. 1 is worth less over 3 years.

According to the International Monetary Fund, each of these VEF amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

How to calculate inflation rate for Bs. 1, 2007 to 2010

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2007 and 2010:

CPI in 2007CPI in 2010
×
2010 VEF value
=
2007 VEF value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Venezuelan CPI was 263437.1233 in the year 2010 and 124114.6479 in 2007:

CPI in 2007 - CPI in 2010CPI in 2010
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (3 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
