The majority of the Venezuelan economy exists outside its borders, because that's the only place where it can exist.

Currency controls are actually preventing the recovery of the country. They are a short term fix for a short term problem but they create long term problems in the process and those long term problems are definitively the worse poison.

Capital controls and sanctions. The sanction regime has crippled the economy but not the state, which is the usual result.
