    Great blog. It would be nice to have a story on the arbitrage going on with 100 bolivar bills in the Colombian border. Crazy stuff!

    Hello

    what is the actual black market exchange rate (BS VS US$) ? in Caracas and Porlamar. I heard 15 for 1, and some peoples said it will go up to 25 for 1, is it correct?

    Thanks Sam, but the link does not work, there are either extra characters, or missing ones. Can you repeat?

    Hey there,

    Great blog. Couldn’t find your email on here, but I was going to ask you if you can explain in layman’s terms why does Venezuela have a fixed 1:2.15 exchange rate and thus a parallel black market rate?

    Thanks

      In 2003 Chavez imposed controls to protect reserves. In time, he refuses to let it go because of its inflationary consequences, but the parallel rate goes higher and he controls who he gives Bs. 2.15 to. It has now become a trap, he likes the political control, refuses to devalue, the swap rate goes higher and he gives less and less at the official rate.
