VENEZUELA: Oil sector seeks reform to survive
It is no secret that Venezuela’s economy, and by association the country as a whole, is heavily is dependent on oil. High international oil prices allowed former president, Hugo Chávez (1999-2013), to roll out a wide range of social welfare programmes, before falling prices contributed to the country’s catastrophic economic collapse under Nicolás Maduro. The fortunes of the Venezuelan oil sector are therefore a matter of significant interest, both within the country and to external observers.
