Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of 2008 mortgages subprime crisis on the venezuelan economy. The study is presented in two sections: first, we characterized the triggersof the crisis through Minsky’s theory, and the second, is analyzed, using descriptive statistics, its impact on macroeconomic aggregates Venezuela. We conclude that the crisis was transmitted to the Venezuelan economy in two ways: by the commercial channel, especially its impact on energy markets and, to a lesser significant, by the financial channel, through the fall in the foreign investment.
