An economic debacle picture is worth a 1000 word treatise
Believe it or not, the government published this graph among the diverse excuses it published to justify the end of the swap market [including the lapsus (?) of 4,3 instead of the "official" 2.6. I suppose it would not have been as aesthetically looking at 2.6...]. And yet, as an indictment of how the Venezuelan economy went awry as oil went down and spending went it up, it cannot be matched.... No comments needed. Received in my mail box a few minutes ago.

Man, that graphic is mind-blowing...
It would be good to also track inflation with the the parallel market dollar. With that "quibble" stated, it is an informative graph.
