On December 23, the Venezuelan government announced a new official exchange rate for the national currency, the bolivar fuerte (VEF). Set at VEF 6.3 to the US dollar1 since last February, the rate is now VEF 11.3 to the dollar applicable to transactions by non-resident persons (with an annual ceiling of USD10,000).
If this new rate is also applied to business transactions, the impact on the 2013 EBIT2 target would be a negative €28 million, corresponding to around a 5% reduction in expected 2013 recurring profit after tax and non-controlling interests. In addition, the impact on year-end consolidated net debt would be around €140 million.
Including this impact, the 2013 EBIT target would stand at between €340 million and €350 million.
