The Patria System activated this Friday, September 18, the disbursement of the Comprehensive Income for Workers corresponding to the current month, directed to retired personnel in the public sector. The amount deposited is Bs. 111,720; the Patria Digital Channel equates this to US$ 131.66 using as reference the official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Venezuela.
The striking point is the jump: in August, the same benefit was Bs. 102,410, representing an increase of 9.09% in bolívares. On paper, it’s good news. In practice, and as anyone who has exchanged bolívares in recent years knows, the detail lies in the rate used to convert that figure into hard currency.

Next week, the Social Dialogue Board must close something that sounds technical but affects the pockets of millions: the methodology for discussing wage recovery. Leida Marcela León, president of the Central de Trabajadores ASI Venezuela and a member of the ILO Administrative Council, anticipated it and confirmed that in that forum they are already debating bonuses, vacations, severance payments, collective contracts, and how the salary tables will be structured.
For PitbullChain, the news matters for a very specific reason: in Venezuela, wages stopped being just a figure on the payroll and became a conversion problem. An increase in bolívares does not automatically mean more purchasing power, because the cost of living—food, medicine, spare parts, services—is increasingly referenced in foreign currency. And the currency that dominates that everyday calculation today is the dollar, with USDT running behind it as an operating store of value.
