Text reads: “Acting President Delcy Rodriguez, led the National Economic Council to strengthen the “Venezuela is Borned” Strategic Plan along with more than 600 representatives of the productive sector.”

Solid Economic Indicators

Despite the contingency, the Acting President specified that national income sources maintain their growth trajectory, revealing that economic indicators remain strong.

Oil production has reached one million barrels per day, tax activity reports increases, and real consumption as of July registers a 33% increase compared to the same period last year. Economic indicators show growth exceeding 9% in the second quarter, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period of the previous year, providing a solid foundation for reconstruction efforts.

This sustained growth trajectory provides a favorable backdrop for the Venezuela is Borned Plan, which seeks to ensure the operational and logistical continuity of the main industrial branches. The plan prioritizes the restoration of infrastructure in sectors most affected by the seismic event, particularly in La Guaira state where 80% of buildings collapsed, as well as in Caracas, Miranda, Vargas, Aragua and Carabobo states, which also suffered significant structural damage.

Following this, the Acting President projected the comprehensive recovery of the entity most affected by the catastrophe, ensuring that the national economic plan contemplates a profound transformation for the region, explaining that the reconstruction process will also guarantee social welfare and productive development hand in hand with the private sector and national capacities.

State articulation also included representatives from basic industries key to the physical reconstruction of infrastructure deteriorated by the telluric movement. Acting President Rodriguez emphasized that the articulation between the public and private sectors is essential to overcome the emergency.

The Bolivarian Government maintains a permanent evaluation of the situation and has activated all state mechanisms to guarantee the continuity of economic activity, the protection of employment, and the progressive restoration of dignified living conditions for the affected population, reaffirming the principle of endogenous development that has characterized the country’s economic policy since the enactment of the Constitution of 1999.

Sovereignty Defended

The Acting President Rodriguez emphasized institutional strength and denounced that the economic blockade sought to question who governs Venezuela: “Well, we govern”, she stated, highlighting that 72 nations have coordinated humanitarian aid directly with the country’s legitimate authorities.

“Here there is a Government, here there is a country, here there is a State”, she affirmed, highlighting the nation’s sovereignty in difficult times and its capacity to act and coordinate reconstruction after the double earthquake that shook the country on June 24, 2026.

Addressing an audience of entrepreneurs, agro-industrialists, farmers and representatives from the country’s 14 productive engines, the Acting President emphasized the institutional strength of the Republic to manage the emergency and channel international assistance in a fully sovereign manner. Her remarks came amid the ongoing recovery from the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that claimed 4,561 lives, injured 16,740 people, and left 17,907 citizens affected, with 128,324 families currently receiving state assistance.

“It is not that someone arrives and drops aid here. No: here there is a Government, here there is a country, here there is a State, and here there is a people that wants to emerge, wants to move forward, overcome the rubble, recover and rebuild”, Rodriguez asserted, reinforcing the message of national unity and institutional capacity that has characterized the Bolivarian Government’s response to the seismic disaster.
