The Central Bank of Venezuela welcomed a technical team from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) for a working session that, on the surface, looks like mere institutional protocol. However, for anyone who deals with USDT daily in Venezuela’s P2P market, these kinds of meetings serve as a sort of barometer: they reveal the direction of the official economic narrative and how close the country is to meeting the technical standards used by multilateral organizations.

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) ranked Venezuela second in the region for the best terms of trade at the end of 2026, with an estimated improvement of 23%. The figure, published in its latest foreign trade report, far exceeds the regional average of 6% and is surpassed only by the 26% ECLAC attributes to Peru. For anyone trading USDT and bolívares day to day, this is no academic ornament: it offers a clue to the foreign-currency liquidity that could circulate next year.
