The Venezuelan government announced an income increase on April 30. This market asks on which specific day the Official Gazette (Gaceta Oficial) will be published detailing the exact breakdown of the new amounts.
Resolution criteria:
The market will resolve to the corresponding day option if a verifiable Official Gazette (regular or extraordinary) is published and made available on that specific date (Caracas time).
The Gazette must explicitly specify the exact amounts allocated to the base minimum wage (salario mínimo) versus the mandatory government bonuses (such as Cestaticket and Bono de Guerra Económica) corresponding to the April 30 announcements.
The date of publication is determined by when the Gazette becomes public knowledge, not the printed date on the document (as gazettes are sometimes backdated).
Leaks, draft documents, or verbal statements do not count.
If Friday, May 8, 11:59 PM (Caracas time) passes without the publication of this specific Gazette, the market resolves to "After May 8 / Not published".
Background
On April 30, 2026, the Venezuelan government announced an increase in income for workers. While the total figures are often announced publicly by officials, the specific legal breakdown—which determines how much of the increase constitutes base salary versus taxable or non-taxable bonuses—requires formal publication in the Gaceta Oficial to be legally binding and effective. Delays between government announcements and the official publication of the corresponding Gazette are common in the Venezuelan legislative process.
