CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's economy will contract between 7 and 10 percent this year, said the country's main business chamber Fedecamaras, on Wednesday at the Reuters Latin American Investment Summit in Caracas.

The organization said a recently installed Constituent Assembly was not a solution to the OPEC country's severe economic problems, adding it would deepen the crisis.
