A very touching article about the economic conditions in Venezuela. The difference between the government's official data, which says the economy is growing at 8%, and the daily reality experienced by the people is truly ironic.
The projection of the dollar reaching 270 Bs by the end of the year shows how difficult life is there. Moreover, traders use the Euro exchange rate and raise prices in dollars - a double burden for the people.
What's most touching is your concern for your brother Henry and his family in Venezuela. The regular money you send must be helping them survive.
Hopefully, the economic situation there will improve soon. Stay strong, brothers and sisters of Venezuela!
Thank you for sharing this honest and personal perspective.
