During the first nine months of 2025, Venezuela’s foreign exchange market showed an urgent need to increase foreign currency availability and reduce the gap between official and parallel exchange rates. Early in the year, the gap narrowed as the official exchange rate was adjusted more aggressively, though this caused a faster depreciation of the bolivar. However, by March, the gap widened again, prompting temporary interventions through foreign currency sales. In mid-2025, depreciation accelerated despite irregular interventions, and by August, foreign currency allocations fell to around $20–30 million per week. The introduction of the cryptocurrency Tether (USDT) by the public sector, formalized in September, did not succeed in closing the exchange rate gap. Challenges included limited supply, lack of transparency, and restricted access mainly to priority sectors, forcing others to rely on the parallel market. Looking ahead, a seasonal increase in money supply during the Christmas period could further widen the exchange rate gap unless the government boosts foreign currency allocations and implements stronger measures to stabilize the market.
