This was stated by the South American country's Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, during her speech at the National Economic Council
“All the country’s productive sectors are growing.” This was emphasized by Venezuela’s Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, during her speech at the recent National Economic Council.
The official noted that there are three major national consensuses: “defeating the economic blockade; moving forward together to boost national production and import substitution; as well as guaranteeing the nation’s political, economic, and social peace.”
During her participation in the National Economic Council, Rodríguez offered figures demonstrating the growth of various sectors, such as “basic industries and iron, where the public sector grew 158 % and the private sector 52 %.”
She highlighted that Venezuela has a supply rate of nearly 98% in food production. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical sector registered an increase of 27.32 %. Regarding trade, the vice president noted that it grew 7.72 % in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first, “which translates into 1,085 new products on shelves; 7 % more than the same period in 2024.”
The tourism sector has shown a 70.84 % growth compared to 2024 in international arrivals and 567 % in “social tourism, a key activity for generating foreign currency.”
