Venezuela confirmed Tuesday that it has entered recession, while annual inflation topped 63 percent, exacerbating the outlook for an economy already hit by crippling shortages and crashing oil prices.


The South American oil giant's economy shrank 2.3 percent in the third quarter, after contracting 4.8 percent in the first quarter and 4.9 percent in the second Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Hombre Gold Comprar Doradas Comprar , the central bank said, the first time it has released the country's growth figures this year.


That is a new blow for leftist President Nicolas Maduro, whose approval rating is at a low of 24 percent going into legislative elections next year that could force the followers of late socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez from power for the first time since 1999.


Analysts had said for months that Venezuela was likely in recession.


But the diagnosis had not been confirmed by official statistics, which the central bank, in violation of its own rules Zapatillas Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Hombre Plata Rebajas , has released only irregularly as the economy has worsened in recent months.


The inflation rate, a figure that had not been released since August, came in at 4.7 percent for the month of November and 63.6 percent for the year -- among the highest in the world.


Maduro's government has introduced mandatory price cuts and rent controls in a bid to rein in the increases but has not managed to get the inflationary spiral under control.


- Severe shortages -


The problem has been aggravated by severe shortages of basic goods.


Venezuela is estimated to have the largest oil reserves in the world but depends largely on imports for basic goods, including food and medicine.


Venezuelans can buy gasoline cheaper than bottled water but currently struggle to find milk, flour Zapatillas Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Hombre Todas Blancas Baratas , cooking oil, toilet paper, deodorant, shampoo and other products.


The shortages helped fuel violent protests against Maduro's government from February to May in which 43 people were killed.


The central bank said the protests "prevented the proper distribution of basic goods to the population and the normal production of goods and services."


It blamed the demonstrations for an "economic reversal and a fall in economic activity."


Price increases were the sharpest for housing, food and alcoholic beverages Comprar Zapatillas Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Hombre Todas Rojas , and restaurants and hotels, it said.


The central bank has not published the index that measures scarcity since March, when it found that 19 categories of key products were experiencing "serious supply problems."


Falling crude prices have taken an added toll on a country that gets 96 percent of its foreign currency from oil.


According to Maduro, Venezuela's oil export price has plunged from $95 a barrel in September to $48 today.


He accused the United States of waging an "oil war" to hurt major crude producers including Venezuela and Russia.


A boom in shale oil in the United States has upended the world market, causing crude prices to hit a string of five-year lows in recent weeks.


Producers' cartel OPEC added to the downward momentum last month by ruling out a production cut -- a decision pushed through by wealthy Gulf states over Venezuela's furious opposition.

UNITED NATIONS Comprar Zapatillas Hombre Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Todas Azules , Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted the plight of refugees and migrants and the need to end conflicts on the occasion to mark the International Day of Peace, or World Peace Day.


At a bell-ringing ceremony in a garden at the UN Headquarters in New York to mark the day, Guterres said: "the International Day of Peace is an opportunity to renew our resolve to work for a future free of violence and strife."


"It's a day when we honor those who have fallen in war, and when we grieve the suffering that conflict causes. It is also when we call on combatants worldwide to lay down their arms and observe a day of cease-fire and nonviolence," he added.


"This year Zapatillas Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Hombre Todas Negras Comprar , we turn our thoughts in particular to refugees and migrants, who need our support more than ever. There are now more than 65 million people who have been forced by conflict and persecution to flee their homes and homelands. Many more are on the move out of desperation for a better future," he said.


"When more and more doors and minds are being closed to refugees, let us show solidarity. Let us highlight the shared benefits of migration to economies and to nations. When others receive the support they need and deserve, we are all more secure and better off."


The Peace Bell Ceremony is an annual ritual at the UN Headquarters Zapatillas Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Hombre Negras Comprar , where the bell of peace is rung by the UN secretary-general for celebrations of the World Peace Day, which falls on Sept. 21.

The date initially chosen was the regular opening day of the new annual session of the UN General Assembly, the third Tuesd.
