00:00The Venezuelan government announced that it had reached its highest level of oil production and exports since 2019
00:06with a figure of more than 1.2 million barrels per day, which translates into benefits for the Venezuelan people.
00:13The announcement was made by Venezuela's acting president Elsie Rodriguez
00:16in a message to the nation marking the two-month anniversary of the double earthquake.
00:21The leader reported that thanks to diplomatic efforts,
00:24they have succeeded in signing more than 50 energy agreements covering more than 76 hydrocarbon production areas
00:30and in the first seven months of the year are to increase the production from 924,000 barrels to more
00:37than 1.2 million barrels per day.
00:39Finally, she emphasized that these results are due to the efforts of the workers,
00:44together with the national government's economic recovery policies, to boost Venezuela's main economic driver.
00:55In the middle of the emergency, our oil production did not stop.
01:06Today, it exceeds 1,230,000 barrels a day, its highest level since February 2019.
01:15We have also signed 50 strategic agreements in the oil and gas sector
01:19that will bring new investments to more than 76 productive hydrocarbon fields across the country.
01:29ECLAC, on the other hand, forecasts Venezuela's growth at 6.0% for this year, the highest in the region,
01:35and we have now accumulated 21 consecutive quarters of expansion.
01:42These are important figures, but they are by no means the ultimate goal,
01:45because there is still a long way to go to recover an economy severely impacted by sanctions.
01:50The goal is for economic growth to translate into jobs, higher incomes for workers, services and opportunities for families.
