Resource Curse is typically defined as a situation in which a particular resource-rich country overuses its resources by neglecting other major sectors and enters into a phase of economic contraction or stagnancy. As a result of the resource curse, a country with one-rich resource becomes dependable in commodity prices and its GDP fluctuates extensively. Venezuela remains a classic example of resource curse with highly volatile inflation and GDP despite ample oil resources.
