The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, emphasized that in the face of the two-digit economic growth registered in the last four quarters in the country, among other signs of economic recovery, unscrupulous groups «have come to fire up the parallel dollar in a fictitious and false manner”. as a mechanism to unbalance the economic recovery:
“There are those who intend to disrupt the economic recovery and bring up again the file on the parallel dollar; I ask the people for maximum conscience, I ask the merchants for maximum conscience”, he affirmed.
He also reiterated that “there is a legal market dollar that is the dollar of the Central Bank of Venezuela. It is not a fixed dollar, the dollar of the Central Bank is governed by the rules of the market”, as he pointed out on Thursday from the Paraguaná Peninsula, located in Falcón state.
«Don’t let yourself be robbed by the parallel dollar”, exhorted the Head of State, demanding an end to speculation in the foreign exchange market, while calling for joint efforts to prevent «trying to torpedo the economic recovery”.
“Rather, let’s all help the country to recover fully and absolutely; We have already recovered economic growth, have slowed down inflation, we have created an exchange system that has worked well, now we have to go to the social investment, to grow in the engines of tourism, agriculture and technology, but let nobody come to sabotage the people», he pointed out.
According to data from the BCV, Venezuela registers an economic growth of 17.04% in the first quarter of 2022, which is the highest rate in the region.
