36 An scenario for 2015

37 ASSUMPTIONS Lower oil prices. Oil revenues could fall up to 30,000 million dollars in one year External Debt Repayments will continue to be high and constraining. Roll-over does not look as an alternative Lower Imports and higher adjustments in the FX allocations. Higher adjustment in Private Sector allocations Very difficult conditions to get external financing and to mitigate the external crises, and the government will do as much as it can to get unconventional sources of financing Borrowing requirements in bolívares can be attended by devaluation, monetary expansion and higher taxes. Government spending has to be adjusted (in real terms) with uncertain political effects
