World Bank Signals Up to $5B in Loans to Venezuela, First Major Lending Since Crisis

The World Bank is considering up to $5 billion in loans to Venezuela across three sectors—expenditure efficiency, energy, and health—per Susana Cordeiro. This marks a potential reversal of the Bank's long-standing lending freeze to the Maduro government, though details on conditions and timing remain unclear. The move signals a shift in international financial engagement with Venezuela, likely tied to political normalization and could ease fiscal constraints.

Specific conditions, timelines, and the political context enabling such a move remain largely unspecified.
