Øget inflation truer Sydamerika

Inflation kan smadre enhver økonomi.

Brasiliens præsident Dilma Rousseff har offentliggjort en spareplan til 30 mia. US$. Den skal primært dæmme op for inflationen, der historisk har været et voldsomt problem i Sydamerika. Analytikere byder tiltaget velkomment. BBC rapporterer

Anderledes ser det ud i Argentina, hvor regeringen i januar 2007 satte deres egne folk ind som chefer for det nationale statistiske bureau, INDEC. Vupti, så var inflationen reduceret til "kun" knap ti procent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Det har den været siden, ifølge de officielle tal, men de private analyseinstitutter rapporterer om 25-30 procents inflation. Det har fået Præsident Cristina Kirchner til at true med vodsomme bøder til analyseinstitutterne. Business Insider rapporterer

Venezuela har også sit hyr med inflation, mens de øvrige vigtige lande ligger på et nogenlunde kontrolleret niveau omkring de 5 procent.
