Brief
The Central Bank of Venezuela set its official exchange rate for August 11, 2026, at 761.2167 bolivars per US dollar. The benchmark increased 0.4853%, indicating a modest weakening of the bolivar against the dollar. Finanzas Digital reported the figure on August 10, ahead of the rate’s effective date. The source provides no further information about the drivers of the move or related central-bank measures.
For investors valuing bolivar-denominated cash flows, the 0.4853% increase in the official dollar rate directly reduces their dollar value absent matching price or revenue adjustments. Its small size limits the standalone signal, but subsequent fixes will show whether depreciation is accelerating.
