Given the very high oil prices In the 2007 for a four consecutive year the GDP grew strongly… Particularly, non tradable sectors like financial institutions, construction and communications were sectors with a very high rate of growth. However, oil GDP (oil production) fell again by 4.2%…

Venezuelan Oil Production The oil sector is producing 500.000 barrels less than the volume registered in 2002…

Balance

During the first six months of 2008 the government accumulated a fiscal deficit of 20,7 billions of bolivares… For this year the Central Bank has not yet reported the Central Goverrnment Balance. There is a serious problem of transparency and accountability…

A very expansionary fiscal policy…

The government was having a very expansionary fiscal policy… The high growth of the past was not attributable to higher production but to consumption financed by a high fiscal (and cuasi-fiscal) spending, expansion of lending and high levels of money supply….

An important part of public expenditure has filtered out of the economy as imports. In 2008 Venezuela had a “boom” of US$ 47.601 millions (almost five times greater than that of 2003…)

In July the average of Venezuelan Oil basket was US$ 129,54 but the average between January and April 2009 was only US$ 41,38…

An interesting point about the preceding economic indicators… All of this… in the context of very high oil prices (average of more than 40 US$/barrel) and oil exports of US$ 452.000 million in the last 10 years… … Only in 2008 with an average price of 86,81 US$/barrel the total oil income was US$ 92.927 million… Source: BCV

To summarize: A list of “warning lights on the dashboard” (Key variables for monitoring the economy in order to know what could happen in the future…)

1. High and persistent inflation 2. Imbalances in the external sector 3. Vulnerability in the oil sector 4. Imbalances in the fiscal area

To summarize The key point is sustainability… The expansionary trend in the Venezuela economy is not sustainable. It is not possible to maintain a growth model stimulated by increased consumption which is not supported by higher production and private investment. Everything is/was “link” to the oil boom. If oil prices are low, the country simply will be unable to continue importing to meet rising demand, maintain the exchange rate, the expansionary fiscal policy and in general maintain this “illusion of harmony”…

Aggregate demand grew 18.8% and private consumption 18.7%, but production, measured in terms of manufacturing GDP, increased only 8.4%... Given the lack of private investment, the gap between production and consumption is essentially cover by the import boom… For a long time now domestic industry has been unable to satisfy state-subsidized domestic demand…

At the end of 2008, the balance of payments continues to reflect a disproportionate increase in imports, while oil revenue decreased.

The challenges for the future… Reversing the tendency of the last 30 (22+8) years is possible but it will require considerable time and effort. There are no simple, easy, and quick solutions… A return to a high and “sustained” rate of growth and a “progressive redistribution” of wealth is important for two main reasons: z

It is part of the ethical imperative to promote the general well-being of the population It constitutes a fundamental condition for consolidating the political and social stability necessary to sustain future reforms

Achieving these results is the most important challenge of the Venezuelan leadership for the next decades…

The consequences of the poor economic performance… More than 25 years of very negative economic performance not only contributed to Venezuela’s poverty increase, but also social inequality with a high level of unemployment and more than half of the work force in the informal sector… The political consequences of the poor economic performance of the last three decades are less clear than the social consequences: z

Social discontent and problems of governance in Venezuela have been largely the result of the decline in socio-economic conditions…

Sin embargo, el Gobierno todavía tiene “con que…”

• A pesar de los “múltiples desequilibrios macroeconómicos” que continúan agudizándose el gobierno cuenta con activos externos acumulados que le “podrían” permitir posponer “ajustes dramáticos” en una primera etapa y trasladar la “arruga” hacia el futuro…
