Venezuelan banking crisis of 1994
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1994 banking crisis occurred in Venezuela when a number of the banks of Venezuela were taken over by the government. The first to fail, in January 1994, was Banco Latino, the country's second-largest bank ($1.3 billion bailout[1]). Later, two banks accounting for 18% of total deposits (Banco Consolidado and Banco de Venezuela) also failed.[2]
