Venezuela's economy is emerging from recession faster than expected thanks to higher oil prices.
Its GDP grew by 4.5%.. in Q1 vs 2010...more than twice as fast as the 1.7% many economists predicted.
"Venezuela is turning the page and is in recovery,” said FM Jorge Giordani.
“Growth will contribute to President Chavez’s leadership in the 2012 elections.”
