Venezuela Index Falls 12% as Banking Law Threatens Profit
Meanwhile in Kenya, the stockmarket is growing
Venezuelan stocks tumbled to an eight- week low, led by banking shares, as investors reacted to government plans to cap banks' profits and dividends.
The Caracas Stock Exchange Index fell 12 percent to 41,748.98, the lowest since Nov. 21. With today's decline the index has fallen 33 percent since Jan. 8, when President Hugo Chavez announced plans to nationalize companies in the country's telephone, power and oil industries.
