Venezuela to be International Financial Epicentre
Caracas - Venezuela can
become a center of the international
financial exchange in Latin America, said
Friday the director of the Group of Social
Investigations 21 (GSI21), Nelson Merentes.
"In all crises, there are opportunities, and
Venezuela has the one of being an epicentre
of reception of emergent capitals," Merentes
stated to Prensa Latina.
He remembered when Venezuela bought the debt
of Argentina and then sold it in a secondary
market. Argentina had this way its
liquidity, and we had an important gain, he
said.
"This way -he stated - a new form of making
exchanges between two countries was created.
"Then the Bond of the South appeared, a debt
instrument between Caracas and Buenos
Aires," Merentes added. "In a little time we
could become a kind of bank in Latin
America."
"Another example that justifies our
important list in the world financial system
is the foundation of a Venezuelan-Iranian
bank, the monetary agreements with China,
and those of cooperation with Russia and
Brazil," he stated.
"Fortunately, Venezuela is linked to the
world centers where there is liquidity, and
we have liquidity as much in bolivares as in
dollars," he emphasized.
Venezuela has also developed the idea of the
Bank of the South, Bank of the Bolivarian
Alternative for the Peoples of Our America,
a bank with Iran and the Chinese Fund,
demonstrating the strength of the national
financial architecture.
In these moments the entities should be
energized and make the institutions more
operative, and look for an invigoration from
the integration projects at all the levels,
he concluded.
