The Executive Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, during her participation in the closing of the International Seminar on Economic Development 2024: Economic Transformation in the New Global Context, highlighted the country's economic growth.

“Since Venezuela today is still a blocked country with its 936 unilateral coercive measures intact,” Rodríguez said in the context of potential growth, and he also stressed that annualized inflation in May 2024 fell considerably and in January it amounted to only 50%

The executive vice president recalled that inflation in the country reached 344 thousand percent. In the midst of the crisis, “the determination of Venezuela, definitely the right to development and to the hope of a free homeland”, could be observed.

“These are numbers that really speak of what we have been through as a people and also in a national productive effort, today we can say that we have 97% of supply in Venezuela,” he stressed.

In this regard, he recalled that during the period of 2015-2017, the shortage in the country was fierce “because it was a justly concerted policy, suffocating Venezuela's foreign exchange revenues, suffocating and destroying the productive apparatus.”
