Venezuela and the International Monetary Fund

Inflation in Venezuela in 2018 was 130 060 percent. The central bank said after four years of silence.

Economic data are, in principle, strictly kept secret from the authoritarian regime of Nicolas Maduro. The country's economy shrunk by 19.2% in the first nine months of 2018 on an annual basis, as private consumption has fallen sharply and inflation has risen.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said Azerbaijan’s economy stabilized in 2017 thanks to active macroeconomic policies and “stronger oil prices.”
