ECLAC and the IMF forecast that in the context of a Latin American growth of 3.5%, Venezuela will increase its GDP by 5% to 6.5%. Other predictions speak of up to 10% growth for Venezuela, even without substantial improvements in the sanctions imposed against it.

The main levers for Venezuela to follow the path of recovery in the context of a world economic recession derive from the difficult geo economic and geopolitical situation the world is going through.
