Good Luck.
Venezuela's government has come with a plan to end the country's shortage toilet paper. There was a danger that shops would have no toilet paper to sell. Even though Venezuela is rich oil, it has difficulty paying things other countries. This is because controls the Venezuelan currency. The government has decided to spend $79 million buying 39 million rolls toilet paper to make sure people do not run . The money will also be used to buy toothpaste and soap. People the country have to wait long lines supermarkets and pharmacies to buy basic things, sometimes days. They then buy all they can, which means stores run quickly.

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro said the shortage toilet paper was because rich people and those who are unhappy the government. He did not say why these people's actions meant the country almost ran of basic supplies. Economists say the way the government runs the economy led to the shortages. The government keeps prices low many goods, which means Venezuelan companies find it hard to produce things and make a profit. The price controls also push inflation because when there is a shortage something, people will pay a higher price to get it. Venezuela has the highest rate inflation Latin America. The current rate is 25 per cent.
