📊 The figures presented by the Executive
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez reported that between January and November of this year, 14.710 billion dollars from the sale of oil and minerals were allocated to paying salaries, bonuses, and pensions for public administration employees. In her message, the official put the proportion in simple terms: of every 100 dollars received from that source during the period, 99 went to payroll and pensioners—that is, 14.710 billion out of a total of 14.860 billion—leaving just 150.5 million for operating expenses.
