The report, titled” Global Economic Prospects,” said that Venezuela is suffering an ever deeper recession than the previous year, when the Gross Domestic Product of the country shrunk by 16.5 percent.

The International Monetary Fund forecasted that this year’s inflation will be 652.7 percent. However, it shows a much more alarming figure for next year, when the inflation could reach as high as 2,349.3 percent.
