Interim president announces 8.5% economic growth for 2025
Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez reports 8.5% annual GDP growth in 2025 amid ongoing political transition and sanctions, highlighting nineteen consecutive quarters of expansion.
Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez announced that the country's economy grew 8.5% in 2025, marking nineteen straight quarters of growth, according to state television VTV. The interim government credits the rise to renewed oil production and loosened regulations, even as US sanctions and political instability continue to constrain broader recovery. The figure underscores a fragile rebound from past collapse but analysts caution that high inflation and weak institutions limit the real‑world impact on living standards. The announcement was framed as evidence that Venezuela is emerging as a leading economy in Latin America despite the turbulence.
