In Venezuela, the Bolivar has already been devalued too much.

In the last 10 years it has gone from a difference of up to 99.99% to the past from 2.15 to 6.000 billion bolivars per dollar.

Generating hyperinflation and impoverishment within the country.

The Venezuelans started buying products because they knew that their local currency is going to devalue to the point that everything will be more expensive up to 99% than before.


I hope it help you
