America has arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Because of this there is panic at the global level. However, in the meantime we will tell how America has not only put pressure on Venezuela at the political level, but their currency also has a lot of influence in Venezuela.
The official currency of Venezuela is Bolivar Soberano, which is internationally recognized by the code VES. This currency has been facing serious economic crisis and uncontrolled inflation for a long time. The situation became so bad that the government had to repeatedly remove zeros from the notes.

Bolivar price ends

Rising inflation in Venezuela almost destroyed the value of the bolivar. In the year 2008, then in 2018 and then in 2021, the government made several changes in the prices of notes as part of currency reform. Despite this, the currency’s decline did not stop. This had a direct impact on the common people and everyday things also became very expensive.

Dollar became the choice of common people

Due to the weakness of the Bolivar, the use of the US dollar increased rapidly in Venezuela. Today the situation is such that the prices of most goods and services in the market are fixed in dollars. Although payment can also be made in bolivar, people consider dollars more reliable. Gradually the dollar is being used as a parallel currency in Venezuela.

Why is the dollar stronger?

The US dollar is counted among the most stable and strong currencies in the world. Due to political and economic instability in Venezuela, people have lost confidence in their currency. In such a situation, dollar has become the safest means of savings and transactions. According to Wise.com, the value of one US dollar in Venezuela is approximately equal to 304.30 Bolivar Soberano. This figure clearly shows how strong the dollar is compared to the bolivar. According to this, if an American takes 1 thousand dollars to Venezuela, then its value there will be 3 lakh 4 thousand bolivars.

real picture of economic crisis

Despite being among the countries with the world’s largest oil reserves, Venezuela’s economy remains weak. Inflation, currency devaluation and foreign sanctions have made the situation worse. Until economic stability returns, the future of the Bolivar may remain challenging.

Venezuelan Currency: The news of America’s military action on Venezuela is making headlines in newspapers. America, in a very secretive manner, carried out military action on Venezuela and arrested President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores.

After which there is an atmosphere of uncertainty in the country. Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves. Despite this, the country is struggling with problems like inflation, unemployment, hunger and migration. Venezuela’s currency Bolivar is also very weak. Let us know about the currency of Venezuela…

Economy deteriorated due to printing of currency notes

The decision of the Venezuelan government to print notes on a large scale to meet its expenses proved costly for the country’s economy. This had a direct impact on the country’s currency Bolivar. Its price kept falling continuously. People continued to receive salaries in bolivar, but the prices of most things in the market started being fixed in dollars. Due to which the purchasing power of common people became increasingly weak.

The situation worsened so much that in 2018 the inflation rate reached almost 10,00,000 percent. People had to carry bags full of notes, yet the essentials were not complete. The savings of years went waste and the monthly salary was exhausted within a few hours. According to the United Nations, at one time more than 75 percent of the population faced problems in getting food. Due to which more than 70 lakh people fled the country.

Indian rupee value in Venezuela

Talking about the Indian rupee, the rupee appears stronger against the Venezuelan currency Bolivar. According to the data of 2025, 1 Indian Rupee is equal to approximately 3.22 Venezuelan Bolivar.

According to this, if you exchange 10,000 Indian Rupees there, you can get around 32,000 to 32,500 bolivars. This amount appears huge in figures, but due to high inflation in Venezuela, not much can be purchased with these rupees.

Rupee vs Dollar: The Indian currency rupee is continuously weakening against the dollar. On Friday, the rupee fell by 22 paise to 90.20 dollars. This means that now you will have to spend more than 90 rupees for one dollar. However, a day before this on Thursday, an increase of six paise was seen in the rupee and with this it reached 89.92 against the US dollar. Due to the increasing demand for the dollar among importers and low liquidity, the dollar is continuously rising against the rupee.

Earlier, public sector banks sold US dollars to RBI, so this helped in controlling the rupee to some extent. But again due to increasing demand among oil importers, the dollar again became stronger against the rupee. At present, the market’s focus remains on currency fluctuations and RBI intervention, which includes FX swaps and liquidity operations.

5% decline in 2025

In the year 2025, the rupee fell by 5 percent against the US dollar, which was its worst performance since 2022. However, SBI has predicted that this is expected to change in 2026. According to a recent report by SBI Funds Management, the currency was under pressure last year due to continuous selling by foreign investors, reduced pace of exports and increased hedging demand from importers.

Foreign investors pulled out about $18 billion from Indian equities citing declining earnings, limited participation in AI-led global growth and better opportunities in other emerging markets. Last year, when the dollar weakened and most global currencies strengthened, the rupee still remained weak due to all these reasons.

Will the situation improve in future?

In the next financial year, the rupee will fall by about 2 percent and the exchange rate will be around 92 against the US dollar. It will be supported by many important factors. SBI said in its report that due to strong service exports and low crude oil prices, India’s current account deficit is likely to be less than 1 percent of GDP. Inflation is expected to remain close to RBI’s target of 4 percent, which will help the currency recover from any major shock.

This fall in the Riyal has happened amid the pressure of sanctions and regional tensions, which increased inflation. Iran has been completely cut off from international banking systems (such as SWIFT), resulting in almost no foreign trade and transactions.

Increase in GST collection

Why is the rupee falling?

In the interbank foreign exchange market, the local currency opened at 89.95 per dollar, which shows a decline compared to the previous closing price.

What do experts say?

Talking about the domestic stock market, in early trading, BSE Sensex was seen trading with a gain of 22.24 points at 85,063.69 points while Nifty was seen trading with a rise of 18.10 points at 26,060.40 points.

Rupee vs Dollar: The period of fluctuations in the Indian Rupee continues and even after the recent recovery, its weakness does not seem to have stopped completely. After reaching near record levels against the US dollar, the rupee had shown some strength, but with the beginning of the last trading day of the week, it again declined.

The rupee fell 23 paise to 89.94 per dollar amid selling by foreign investors, slight improvement in crude oil prices and global uncertainties. According to traders, negative trend in domestic stock markets, increasing demand for dollars from importers and uncertainty regarding trade agreements have weakened investor sentiment, which has had a direct impact on the rupee.

Then why did the rupee weaken?

In the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 89.84 against the dollar and came under pressure in early trade and slipped to 89.94, which shows a decline of 23 paise compared to the previous closing price. Earlier on Wednesday, the rupee had weakened by eight paise and closed at 89.71 against the US dollar, while the markets remained closed on Thursday due to Christmas.

What do experts say?

Experts believe that the main reason for pressure on the rupee is the global risk aversion trend and continuous capital withdrawal by foreign investors. According to Dilip Parmar, senior research analyst at HDFC Securities, selling by foreign investors before the holidays and increased demand for dollars from bullion importers have further strengthened the weakness of the rupee.

He also said that despite the Reserve Bank of India’s announcement of dollar-rupee swap and purchase of government securities under open market operations (OMO), the market did not show much enthusiasm as these steps could not effectively reduce the widening gap between supply and demand of dollars before the end of the year.
