Venezuela is experiencing high inflation, food shortages, and an economic crisis. 80% of the population lives below the poverty line due to policies under President Nicolas Maduro that have led to political instability and restrictions on private property and business. Venezuela relies heavily on oil exports, which make up 30% of its GDP, but with a shrinking economy and overdependence on oil, inflation has skyrocketed as the currency loses value. To control inflation and fix the crisis, Venezuela would need a new government, stable currency, encouragement of private business, and improved foreign relations.
