Brief
Trade between Venezuela and the United States increased 113%, according to Diario Primicia, reaching its highest reported level since the first half of 2015. The brief source item does not identify the comparison period, trade categories or values behind the increase. Even so, the headline figure points to a marked rise in bilateral commercial flows under the benchmark used by the publication, making it relevant for investors tracking Venezuela’s external trade.
The reported increase places bilateral trade at its strongest level in roughly a decade, signaling greater commercial activity between Venezuela and the United States. Its investment significance will depend on whether the rise is broad-based and durable rather than driven by a narrow category or favorable comparison base.
