International Monetary Fund spokesperson Julie Kozack explained on Thursday, February 19, that the organization is evaluating resuming contact with Venezuela, but clarified that any progress in this regard will depend on a direct request from Caracas, the seat of government.

The IMF has begun gathering information and facts in the South American country “to determine how to proceed, whether through technical assistance or other cooperation mechanisms.”

Regarding the possibility of resuming relations with Venezuelan authorities, Kozack made it clear that this is not something that will happen immediately, as it will depend on validation by a majority vote of the organization’s member countries.

It is important to highlight that this rapprochement occurs “in a new political context,” where the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, maintains direct contact with the Donald Trump administration.

An official document published by the U.S. Department of Energy revealed Donald Trump’s interest in the recovery of Venezuela’s electrical system, an aspect that is, in fact, one of the priority points of cooperation between the two nations.

The document describes Venezuela’s electrical grid as “deteriorated and fragile after years of underinvestment and lack of maintenance.”

Data cited in the report indicates that Venezuela’s electricity generation capacity has fallen by more than 30 %, a situation that has a significant impact on “industrial production, oil activity, and the daily lives of millions of Venezuelans.”

Washington maintains that without a functional electrical grid, crude oil production cannot be recovered, “a key component of the agreement announced on January 6.”

The electrical system recovery plan includes “allowing the entry of equipment and spare parts—as well as specialized technical services—to address failures that have accumulated over the years.” This will create the minimum conditions for the country to increase its oil production and restore basic services.

The international organization announced the cooperation with TikTok, pointing out the importance of providing accurate data to the population in an increasingly digital world.
