Grisanti, founder of Ecoanalítica, compares money printing to economic addiction and projects Venezuela could face 361% inflation in 2026 if reconstruction is financed through currency emission.
Under disciplined fiscal management, Grisanti projects economic growth of 5.8% in 2026 and 12% in 2027.
Grisanti cites regional comparisons: Mexico's 1985 earthquake produced 159% inflation through money printing, while Chile's 2010 earthquake maintained 3% inflation through fiscal discipline.
Total reconstruction costs estimated at $17 billion, with La Guaira state accounting for 41% of losses; international financial aid available totals $720 million.
