Venezuela Embarks on $150 Billion Restructuring of Debt Amid Political Turmoil
- Venezuela has formally launched a restructuring of its public external debt and PDVSA's obligations, aiming to alleviate financial burdens after nearly a decade in default, with total external debt estimated between $150 and $170 billion.
- The default began in 2017, with major creditors including vulture funds, companies like ConocoPhillips and Crystallex, and bilateral lenders such as China and Russia.
- Recent developments include the easing of U.S. sanctions, such as the Treasury issuing General License 58 authorizing advisory services, and the IMF restoring relations, enabling technical and financial support.
- Investor confidence has risen following the U.S. military operation capturing Nicolás Maduro and the announcement of the restructuring, reflected in increased bond prices for Venezuelan government debt and PDVSA notes.
