The numbers for the first quarter of 2012 released by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) confirm that the manufacturing sector is "much deteriorated," reasoned Carlos Larrazábal, the head of the Venezuelan Confederation of Industries (Conindustria).

He emphasized that a survey customarily conducted to probe the business environment, this time in the first quarter, revealed that the lack of foreign exchange and raw materials are two of the three main obstacles to raising the output.
