Brief
Venezuelan authorities have revised the death toll from the two earthquakes that struck the country’s north on June 24 to 6,301. The source provides no further information on physical damage, disruption to economic activity or the government’s emergency response. Those details will be necessary to assess the disaster’s broader economic and infrastructure consequences.
The reported loss of life makes this a material country-risk event. Its implications for Venezuela’s recovery will depend on the extent of infrastructure damage, interruptions to productive activity and the fiscal resources required for relief and reconstruction—none of which are detailed in the source.
