There has not been a rapid recovery preventing emigration. Statement-II is correct. Venezuela indeed possesses the world's largest proven crude oil reserves, accounting for approximately 17% of global reserves.
Despite these vast reserves, the country faces significant challenges in oil production and economic stability.
