Venezuela geopolitical and economic instability

Overview

Venezuela is navigating complex geopolitical and economic challenges. The nation faces significant political, economic, and geopolitical pressure from the United States and its allies, which is framed as a defense of national sovereignty. This pressure is linked to Venezuela’s strategic position as a holder of the world’s largest oil reserves, gold, and gas deposits.

Simultaneously, the country is experiencing an evolving monetary landscape. While the bolívar remains the official tender, the U.S. dollar is increasingly used in commercial transactions. This has sparked a debate over formal dollarization. Leader Luis Figuera has raised concerns that formal dollarization lacks a constitutional framework and could disadvantage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) compared to large corporations with better access to foreign currency. The influence of the dollar is also becoming evident in local linguistic shifts and slang.
