Venezuela looks different in 2022. Some Venezuelans are once again making weekend plans. Restaurants, shopping centres, night spots, and parks are beginning to fill up again. They are no longer wheeling nearly empty shopping carts out of the supermarkets, nor are there lengths of empty shelves.
In Venezuela, according to the official media, 202,609 new businesses have registered. Many sell a little of everything, all day long, because it takes a lot of hard work to fulfill the basic needs. Venezuela has been “becoming less worse” since the end of 2021, when, little by little, nearly imperceptibly, the economy began dollarizing.
