Jan 14th, 2018.- The traffic of Venezuelan bills has become the new financial scheme amidst the “lack of cash” in the country. The pledge for cash has become massive. The comments are common among the citizens, “We're living a camuflaged embezzlement”.
In the banking entities long lines are made to get cash and only give
5, 10 or 30 thousand bolivars, which does not even cover many times the
value of the passage between one city and another.
The traffic of cash has reached prices from 30% and up to 100%. "We are wrong. The government does not get enough paper money for this problem to be fixed. The
workers can not cover the expenses of the food with our salary, to pay
in points of sales they take away a percentage to us and we stick long
lines. To get cash we also take a high percentage. We are living a hell, "said a man who made a long queue to pay 1 kg of rice with a point in Bs 90 thousand.
The
concrete complaint of the general citizenship is
that they must take measures that really solve the financial embezzlement. "We
saw how the government decided to penalize the usurers who sell cash, but when going to the bank you can not get more than 30 thousand
(hopefully) because the answer is always the same" the remittance has
not arrived "so? How long are we going to get the government to denounce that the
ticket is going to Colombia and not take truly effective measures to
overcome the problem of cash? "This was stated in the Mercado de Catia
by a lady with whom we talked informally.
A
sector of the population considers that the government "only takes
effectist measures" "The SUNDDE goes to the supermarkets, only when a
large queue is made, and businesses sell cheap Then, everything returns to
the whirlwind of prices to Dollar Today". So
it was with the measure of "taking prisoners to usurers" that's fine,
but for that to be functional they have to issue the bills that cover
the national demand. Each bolivar in electronic banking must be backed by its equivalent in bills, that's what I think. I want my little salary to be able to get it out in cash. I'm sick! "Said another woman who was trying to buy" some food "in the aforementioned Municipal Market.
