As always, different sources, different projections. Venezuela's growth for the past three years under Chavez has exceeded 11% per annum (per the World Bank), dispelling the popular myth that his presidency = economic ruin for Venezuela.
Having said that, he'd best do something (back off on some price controls, for example) to curtail the rising inflation in Venezuela.
And as always, I'll forego a smug little emoticon, or what I like to call a dipshit's period, to punctuate my obviously irrefutable opinions.
