"Venezuela's economic freedom score is 39.9, making its economy the 174th freest in the 2009 Index. Its score decreased 3.8 points from last year, reflecting significant declines in eight of the 10 economic freedoms. Venezuela is ranked 28th out of 29 countries in the South and Central America/Caribbean region, and its overall score is much lower than the world average.
Venezuela's government is increasingly interventionist and reliant on oil exports. Business freedom is limited by inefficient and rigid regulation. Although foreign and domestic investments are treated equally, investment laws are opaque and burdensome. In 2007, the government expropriated the most lucrative industries. Inflation is more than 15 percent, and there are price controls on almost all goods and services. Corruption pervades civil society and the judiciary; contracts and property rights are not well protected."
