Buying power of Bs. 1 in 2010
This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for Bs. 1 in 2010 (price index tracking began in 1979).
For example, if you started with Bs. 1, you would need to end with Bs. 7.30 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").
When Bs. 1 is equivalent to Bs. 7.30 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 2010 dollars, the chart below shows how Bs. 1 is worth less over 5 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:
