venezuela's political decline began under president chavez. his economic policies paved the way to a morass of corruption. the country's strict currency exchange system in particular opened the door to massive fraud. business elites politicians and state officials obtain state subsidized dollars through the central bank. these dollars were then sold at a huge profit on the black market was a positive directly in foreign bank accounts. the state administration remains riddled with corruption. billions in public revenues have gone missing. in the industrial hub of malacca most factories lie abandoned less than 20 percent of factories in venezuela are still in operation
