Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said at the FII Priority investment summit that the country is showing the highest economic growth in Latin America. According to her, despite a difficult external environment, Venezuela is experiencing its 19th consecutive quarter of economic expansion, which amounts to five years of recovery. Rodríguez specifically noted the revival of the key oil and gas sector, thanks to which in 2025 the country, for the first time in more than a decade, became fully self-sufficient in fuel and stopped importing it.
To sustain this momentum, the government is actively working to attract foreign investment. Rodríguez reported the resumption of commercial agreements between the state oil company PDVSA and the United States, which now cover 40% of Venezuela’s hydrocarbon market. She held meetings with representatives of more than 120 international companies and emphasized that new legislation (including laws on hydrocarbons and subsoil resources) is being created to guarantee security and favorable conditions for investors.
Vice President Rodríguez delivered her remarks via video on the sidelines of the “Future Investment Priority Initiatives” (FII Priority) summit, which is taking place in Miami. The event, under the slogan "Capital in Motion," brought together more than 1,500 delegates from around the world — politicians, major investors, and experts. The forum’s main goal is to discuss how global capital flows can adapt to current economic realities and contribute to sustainable development.
