The "admitted" inflation rate for Venezuela just for July 2011 is 2.7%. "Admitted" because it is the very manipulated official number. But let's accept it for the sake of the argument.
This being said, the TOTAL inflation of the following countries for 2010 was LESS than 2.7% for the whole year.
Austria, The Bahamas, Belgium, Benin (!?), Burkina Fasso (!!!), Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Senegal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United States (plus a dozen small ones).
All sizes, shapes and conditions. It can be done. You draw your own conclusions.

This is an anti Chavez blog, with 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds over fourteen years and thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post, in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. Though I am not holding my breath.
Of course insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.

Inflation may be high, but on the bright side, the PPP Index (popular purchasing power)is also on the rise, thanks to bribes, rampant corruption, theft and regalitos. It kinda evens it out.

ReplyDeleteO/T -but- did anyone notice the
detention of Yulia Tymoshenko-formerUkraine PM?
Until the political situation in Vz changes -ie. removal of Chavez, the economy will be driven further into the ground.
ReplyDeleteThere is no entrepreneurship in Venezuela. Everyone is afraid to start a business, or invest, expand-this has been this way for long time now...
