00:00And we stay in Venezuela because supermarket shelves are filled with products made in the country,
00:06a reality that the imperial media does not show and that is reflected not only in the figures
00:13but also in the feelings of its inhabitants. Andrea Romero tells us more.
00:18In recent years, the Venezuelan economy has undergone a significant transformation
00:26with the Bolivar regaining ground as the main currency and the supply of domestic products
00:31which translates into confidence and growing independence.
00:38On supermarket shelves, 90% of products are domestically produced, which deserves applause.
00:5695% of transactions today are in Bolivar's.
01:06Our national currency, and as of yesterday, according to the latest information,
01:1130 supermarkets have opened throughout the country in 2025.
01:14With a goal of 40 stores for this year, compared to 61 in 2024.
01:25According to analyst Raymond Martinez, this is the result of macroeconomic policies
01:32focused on strengthening the use of the local currency, rather than foreign currencies.
01:36We are building confidence in the Bolivar again through monetary policies,
01:44aimed at reducing consumption and trade related to currency issues,
01:48and by promoting technical advice through banking services.
01:51Everything related to digital commerce, making room for everything related to promoting the use
01:56of the current currency, which is the Bolivar.
01:59Congressman Ramón Lobo details how this steady growth in Venezuelan production
02:05has been sustained despite external threats.
02:12Hell, since the third quarter of 2021,
02:16the productive apparatus has been growing at a gross rate.
02:23Let us remember that this has been motivated by the sanctions scheme
02:26that was established in Venezuela in response to a systematic and psychological campaign
02:33whose primary objective is to intimidate and sow anxiety among the Venezuelan people.
02:42This also has a clear and definite objective,
02:46which is to immobilize the productive apparatus.
02:51They seek to paralyze economic agents by creating negative expectations
02:55of uncertainty and insecurity.
02:59Economic stability has a direct impact on citizens
03:01by giving them greater access to a wider range of products in supermarkets.
03:08There are Venezuelan products.
03:09We have flour, rice, pasta, grains, butter.
03:12I think there is a lot of variety.
03:15Venezuela moves toward greater economic independence and sovereignty.
