The economy, meanwhile, is in a perilous state, with inflation running rampant, the currency having lost a third of its value, and foreign currency reserves reduced to the point that they can finance no more than six weeks of imports.

But plummeting crude prices mean that Chávez may have a lot less wealth to spread around for his petro-diplomacy projects.
