- Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has already decided to eliminate three zeros off the country's inflation-ridden currency, the bolivar. Now he decided to eliminate two zeroes totaling five zeroes.
- The move came after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated that the country would see 1 million% inflation by the end of 2018.
- Venezuela's economic fall was among the world's deepest in the past six decades.
