#7 Translation of the quoted section:

Purchasing power fell 162% in the last 11 years. Economists believe that the increase in minimum wage decreed by the president was not enough, because the inflation rate is around 40%. Among the ten products with the most inflation are alcoholic beverages and nonalcoholic beverages, newspapers, books, paper goods, medical services and paramedic services, vehicles, and insurance.
