IMF, World Bank say they are resuming dealings with Venezuela
The lenders will begin economic assessments and could eventually unlock billions in funding, officials said.
- On Thursday, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank announced they resumed formal dealings with Venezuela under interim President Delcy Rodriguez, ending a seven-year pause.
- The Washington-based financial institutions severed ties with Caracas in 2019 amid leadership disputes, but resumed engagement after President Donald Trump's administration ousted President Nicolas Maduro in January.
- This restoration allows for a full economic assessment for the first time in some 20 years and could unlock $5 billion in frozen special drawing rights.
- Interim President Delcy Rodriguez praised the move as a "very important step for the Venezuelan economy," noting recent agreements with Chevron to increase crude oil production.
- Investors have bet heavily on Venezuelan bonds, with about $60 billion in defaulted debt outstanding, hoping this institutional recognition will enable necessary restructuring.
