The Venezuelan Banking Association seeks to institutionalize September of each year as Compliance Month, recognizing the need to adapt to the new demands of the global landscape.

“For Venezuelan organizations, understanding and adhering to these standards is increasingly relevant for developing commercial and financial relationships in environments where risk management, transparency, ethics, and compliance are essential for doing business.”

In this context, the event “Overcompliance vs. Global Strategic Compliance: Transforming Risks into Opportunities” will be held on the 16th and 17th of this month in Caracas, at the Venezuelan Banking Association Tower.

The seminar agenda includes addressing the various “dimensions of compliance,” such as “strategic risk management, supporting business growth, corporate integrity, correspondent banking, and the implementation of international standards in the Venezuelan business environment.”

Among the international guests are Wilmer Guerrero, Senior Vice President and Director of BSA/AML and Consumer Compliance at Banesco USA; and Rocío Pérez Mies, Global Director of Regulatory Compliance at BBVA Group. Representing Venezuela will be Lourdes Pulido and Pedro Luis López, vice president and president of the Compliance Officers Committee of the Venezuelan Banking Association, respectively; Henry Rivero, president of Agile Check; Nancy Granadillo, lawyer and compliance specialist; Silumerany Rodríguez, lawyer and certified public accountant; Oscar Perdomo, economist and compliance consultant; Jesús Mora, lawyer and specialist in AML/CFT/FPADM risk management; Maikel Rengifo, director of the AML/CFT/FPADM Risk Management Office at SUDEASEG; and Mercedes Rodríguez, head of Financial Services at Forvis Mazars in Venezuela.

This year, the Venezuelan Banking Association joins the commemoration of Compliance Day, celebrated on Saturday the 26th, with a related event on September 25th focused on “The Importance of Compliance for Venezuela in the Current Circumstances.”

This event will recognize the work of professionals in this field and “provide a forum for analyzing their evolution in the face of business transformations and new market demands.”

OPEC+ announced an increase in its crude oil supply of 188,000 barrels per day starting in September, following an agreement reached at the organization’s fourth meeting on Sunday, August 2.

In this regard, the seven member countries – Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Oman, and Russia – decided to continue their “policy of commitment to market stability by implementing upward adjustments that have added 940,000 barrels per day to the quotas, equivalent to almost 1% of global demand, since the price war began on February 28.

OPEC+ approved the further increase in its supply considering the geopolitical crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, which has triggered blockades on the distribution route in addition to low international reserves.

The organization’s delegates hope that production quotas will remain stable until the end of the year, “in accordance with plans to keep a third layer of inactive supply frozen after it was disconnected in 2022.” However, these forecasts could be altered depending on global market circumstances.

Binance announced its exit from the Canadian market due to new guidelines imposed by the country’s regulators that continue to impact the cryptocurrency sector. Calling its withdrawal “proactive,” the cryptocurrency exchange joins other smaller competitors that also left Canada due to restrictions imposed by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) on February 22.

Although Binance submitted a pre-registration commitment, they explained in a tweet: “Unfortunately, the new stablecoin-related guidelines and investor limits provided to cryptocurrency exchanges make the Canada market no longer sustainable for Binance in this moment”. The new CSA rules prohibit companies from allowing Canadian customers to enter into crypto contracts to buy and sell any crypto asset that is itself a security and/or derivative, defining stablecoins as a security.

The exchange sent an email to its Canadian users, informing them that they must close their open positions by September 30, 2023. As of October 1, 2023, Canadian clients will only be able to liquidate. Despite disagreeing with the new guidelines, Binance looks forward to working with Canadian regulators to establish a thoughtful and comprehensive regulatory framework.

Binance’s departure follows the withdrawal of other prominent players from the Canadian cryptocurrency market, including OKX in March, decentralized exchange dYdX in April, and blockchain fintech Paxos. However, cryptocurrency enthusiasts in Canada still have options, as Kraken submitted a new pre-registration commitment in March and has stated its intention to remain in the country. The CSA has authorized 11 platforms to conduct operations with Canadian citizens.
