Venezuelan inflation will average 86 percent in 2015, up from 57 percent last year, according to a median estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The survey produced a wide variation of estimates after the government halted the regular publication of official statistics in December when the annual rate hit 69 percent. Morgan Stanley had the lowest forecast in the survey at 65 percent, while Caracas-based Ecoanalitica is expecting prices to rise 139 percent this year.
