Economist Agustín Berríos pointed out that this year, “we’re going to have a holiday season like we haven’t had in a long time.”
Economist Agustín Berríos estimated this Friday, November 6, 2026, that Venezuela’s economy could end the year with growth close to 10%.
“Venezuela has the potential to grow significantly this year. We could achieve growth close to 10% or at 10% this year,” he added.
He also said that before the seismic doublet on June 24, analysts had agreed that the country's economy could grow by close to 15%.
Agustín Berríos noted that growth in the last quarter of the year «will be enormous» and stressed that «we’re going to have a Christmas season like we haven’t had in a very long time».
He said that 2027 «will be better than 2026» and considered the country’s economic growth «irreversible»: «we have to make sure politics doesn’t disrupt it, and that requires an effort to engage in dialogue».
He also noted on Globovisión that the economy needs time to recover and said that «the people’s absolute priority is for the economy to recover».
