When I left Venezuela in 2003 you could buy 1 USD with 1300 bolivares.
Today using the parallel rate (black market) you need 88000 bolivares to buy 1 fucking dollar.
Given the amount of dollars that the nation has received these past years with the oil at over 100 dollars the barrel it's inconceivable that the economy is in the state of wreck it currently is.
Minimum monthly wage right now using the parallel dollar rate is 42 fucking dollars.
