Inflation rate for April and May was above 5%.

Mark Weisbrot said the inflation rate was going down and he didn't expect inflation to increase again.

1:30 he says he doesn't expect inflation to increase again. That was September and as recently as April he said the new official SICAD II would curb inflation.

Weisbrot has demonstrated to be unreliable in the past and nothing more than a propagandistic tool. His completely off-the-mark prediction only confirms what a useful idiot he is.
