Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Venezuelan economy is structurally dependent on oil exports, as most sectors, including food and banking, rely on the dollars brought in by oil sales. The International Monetary Fund expects Venezuela's output to reach $111.3 billion in 2026, up from $99.7 billion in 2025, though it projects consumer prices will rise 387.4 percent in 2026.
