Relation to government policies? edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I just noticed that much of the information currently included in the article (esp. under "Economic indicators") can be said to bear a tenuous connection to the economic policy of the Nicolás Maduro government (the subject of the article), by which I mean that the article appears suggestive of an unestablished connection between government economic policy and various economic indicators, etc. For example, consider the "Employment" section: the unemployment rate when Maduro took office was about 7.6%; one year later it dropped to 7.2%. The inclusion of this information in an article titled "Economic policy of the Nicolás Maduro government" inevitably creates the impression that those policies were connected (in a causal way) to that slight drop in unemployment. But the (causal) connection has not been established; moreover, the question of what effects certain policies have had is a contentious one. It seems to me that the article should either focus exclusively on the Nicolás Maduro government's economic policies, or perhaps have its title changed to "The Economy of Venezuela under the Nicolás Maduro government"--Riothero (talk) 21:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Look at Economic policy of Barack Obama for an idea about what is appropriate in an article like this. Riothero (talk) 07:45, 10 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I have seen this. A lot is what the politician says. It is hard to compare this article to Obama's though because there are two different stories. The United States does not have widespread shortages of goods, food and water while Venezuela does. The United States also has an inflation rate about 30 times lower than Venezuela's which makes some subjects different. The article you shared also focuses on a "policy" and not "policies".
Thanks for sharing your idea. My idea is if you would please provide material on what you would like to see on the article. I know you can find a lot on President Maduro.--Zfigueroa (talk) 07:59, 10 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Venezuelan economic crisis of 2013–17 → Economic policy of the Nicolás Maduro government – Article was moved without discussion. Original article was similar to Economic policy of the Hugo Chávez government, Economic policy of Donald Trump, etc. Also, there is already a Crisis in Bolivarian Venezuela article, which covers the whole crisis. ZiaLater (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Inflation edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As of April 2018, particularly this week, Dolar Today, which until now was the main reference for black market prices, has been reporting bolívar prices under the parallel estimates,[1] and dozens of new pages have sprung up to offer different prices, such as Air TM. Just two days ago William Saab announced the arrest of the owner of the page Dolar Pro.[2] The USD is currently around 600,000 bolívares and is expected to continue increasing.--Jamez42 (talk) 11:27, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

US Sanctions edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Why does the article not mention the crippling sanctions the US has imposed on Venezuela, that Alfred de Zayas, former special rapporteur at the UN, called "illegal" and which he said is "economic warfare" that is killing Venezuelans. Also, why does the article not mention the fact that the US has persuaded Saudi Arabia to overproduce from its oil reserves in order to undermine the market for Venezuelan oil? It seems to me that the article is biased towards the official US perspective and against the Venezuelan government. Ianbrettcooper (talk) 15:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
