Step by step what must be done to stabilize prices, give a decent and appropriate wage to citizens and recover production in Venezuela


-->
Most citizens in Venezuela cannot live with a salary of 65,000 bolivars per month equivalent approximately to $ 6.56 per month by the time I write this document July 18, 2019 when the rate reached 9,900 bolivars per dollar and with prices growing of everything sold in the country.
To stop inflation and recover wages I propose:

a)     Create a new currency, the Bolívar Oro, equivalent 1 to 1 to the dollar which would begin to circulate in 60 days from the moment of publication of the decree of its creation and in that period of transition to the new currency revalue to 3000 bolivars per dollar. This revaluation should have an impact on prices going down during the 60-day transition period to the new currency because the speculative exchange rate in the market reached 9,900 bolivars for the moment in which I write this document.
b)    After 60 days and when the new currency comes into circulation, the old Sovereign Bolivar currency will be completely taken out of circulation and all prices and salaries will be quoted in the new currency Bolívar Oro, that is, in its equivalent 1 a 1 to the dollar.
c)     To convert the current monetary mass from approximately 8 billion bolivars to dollars at an exchange rate of 3000 bolivars per dollar, 2666 million dollars (Bs. 8 billion / Bs. 3,000 = 2666 million dollars) would be required. This amount should exist in the International Reserves, according to the figures of Reserves that the Central Bank of Venezuela claims to have.

d)    Those 2666 million dollars must be liquid and available in the banks in the 60-day transition period to create the new currency, so that those who want to exchange their bolivars for dollars will be exchanged immediately until the bolivars are exhausted.

e)     The exchange rate of 3000 bolivars per dollar that I propose for the transition stage to the new currency is because I believe that Venezuela should be equated with Colombia to avoid the smuggling of money and goods and consequently apply the Parity of the Purchasing Power of the Currency. In Colombia, 1 dollar is worth more or less 3000 pesos, consequently, that should be the parity of the bolivar against the dollar during the 60 days of the transition period to the new currency.

f)     The application of the Principle of Parity of the Purchasing Power of the Currency so that the prices and salaries of Venezuela are equal to those of Colombia in the period of transition to the new currency is the only way to equilibrate the balance of payments between the 2 countries and, consequently, avoid the flight of money and goods in both directions, a process that has traditionally harmed Venezuela.

g)     The creation of the Bolívar Oro on par with the dollar is the backbone of the new economic policy that I propose and the solution to inflation, the destruction of wages and the way to prevent millions of citizens from desperately fleeing from Venezuela.

h)    The currency of legal tender will be the Bolívar Oro equivalent 1 to 1 to the dollar but there will be no restriction for the use of the dollar as an alternative currency so that it can be paid indistinctly in any of the two currencies as it happens in other countries.
