Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez announced the creation of a Commission for the Evaluation of State Assets, which will carry out a strategic analysis of all the country’s resources. At a meeting with key officials and industry representatives, Rodríguez said the agency will classify assets into four categories: strategic facilities, opportunities for public-private partnerships, non-core state assets, and property to be liquidated. The main goal is to increase the productivity of the national economy and strengthen state control over vital sectors, using a new technical and administrative methodology for managing resources.
This decision followed an important foreign-policy move: last week the International Monetary Fund officially restored ties with Caracas for the first time since 2019, when relations were frozen due to political disagreements. Earlier, Rodríguez held talks with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, requesting access to $5 billion in Special Drawing Rights to restore critical infrastructure, including electricity and water systems. The creation of the commission appears to be preparation for more transparent management of state property amid renewed international cooperation.
