On Friday, February 8, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue the Bolívar Fuerte (VEF). Currently trading at a fixed exchange rate of 4.3/USD, Venezuela's currency would trade at 6.3/USD after the devaluation.
The SITME1 rate of 5.3/USD used by Edenred in its financial accounts, would be eliminated.
The measure is expected to be made official on Wednesday, February 13.
If it takes place, this implicit 19% devaluation of the SITME rate would have no impact on 2012 results and the following effects in 2013 : around -1.4% on Group's 2013 issue volume, -1.3% on revenue, -2.4% on Ebit and - 1.5% on recurring profit after tax, Group share.
