VENEZUELA: ‘Come fly with me’
Rafael RamÃrez, the long serving energy minister and president of the state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa), and since last year also vice-president for economic affairs, announced this week another new ‘reform’ of the officially controlled exchange rate regime.
