00:08This morning I welcome a delegation of 37
00:15enterprises, Portuguese, enterprises that came to our country. And I said Portugal
00:21enterprises, but here are a little Venezuelan, so important that was always present in Venezuela's
00:28development and we're inviting ambassadors to the international community, to this recovery
00:35process in Venezuela and the post-earthquake, the double earthquake, as Tito said, that impacted
00:460.5, it growing, but we know that the last third quarter of the country will have numbers
00:56really positive of growth. The third quarter, our growth is speaking of the transit that
01:06Venezuela had this year, 2026, even though complex situations that have affected the country
01:15and the economy. Hydrocarbons matter. We have subscribed eight agreements. When I was for
01:24the cameras, there were 61 and we're negotiating 34, but today we have eight agreements subscribed.
01:32And I want to read the 19 article of the organic law of hydrocarbons that was reformed. You
01:41in January month, that article said, in this sense, the state's entities and enterprises that
01:50this law refers, the enterprises are nationals and internationals that are invested under the
02:00mixed model, productive balance, participation contracts in hydrocarbons, any kind of enterprise,
02:09and most incorporates in their gaining process, the participation of capital, national capital
02:18in conditions that secures the optimist use of services, human resources, and origin capital,
02:29Venezuelan origin capital. The law is that you industrial sectors, workers, the Venezuelan workers,
02:37participates in all these processes of international investment that are moving forward in an accelerated
02:45way. Industrial songs, they are the industries, the workers, producers of Venezuela that also will
02:53participate. I am, I said at the UN. Economic sectors of Venezuela, they will have the support and the
03:06national accompaniment, because there is not a country that develops a nation that is not by the hands of the
03:14workers and
03:15industries, and you have the compromise of the accompaniments by the public politics to move forward together in this recovery
03:26process.
03:26This is the petroleum production in this last 12 month growth and 8.5 percent. The production was more than
03:431 million and today it is bigger than this is a production that hasn't yet activated completely all the
03:54accrued. So it is a production. So it is a production. So it is a production. So the own efforts
03:59of national industry and the participation of
04:04accruedments with U.S. and others enterprises by the bigger impulse is from December. And other aspects to consider is
04:15about the core politics
04:17politics through the national economic council. Now we are important for that increase from 31 percent, but it
04:29decrease in portion of processed food. This glen was an 8.8 percent as a clear politics of substitution of
04:40imports and to impose the production of the national production.
04:46Today here is the national assembly discussing its second discussion to the electric law reform. This also is about your
04:59dialogue as your U.S. enterprises cameras presented proposals to the private sector
05:06to participate at the electric system. And I hope this month that that law will be approved and the private
05:14investment
05:14could come and come to the electric system recuperation. There is something that we want to highlight is the work
05:27of the financial system
05:30and multinational. We are in negotiations. Actually, our vice president of economy had a flash travel to an European country
05:43where the
05:44agreements are being closed. Venezuela in the last five years could receive finance of 17 billion dollars. So we are
05:56talking not only for the public sector, but on the private sector,
05:59and also in a responsible way because we are sitting here the multilateral saying which sector of the private sector
06:10must receive financing. We don't want to finance
06:16consumption experience. We want to finance to the initiative of production. It is very important for the private financing to
06:28accelerate these processes, these processes. What I am saying is
06:33Because we have to look to the future and when we look to the future we will need a lot
06:41of offers. It's not only demand that will be guaranteed but offers to acute impact in the non-monetary inflation
06:52and the offer will only guarantee accelerating the productivity, guaranteeing that the industrial capacities could have not only fixed
07:0322%, we must reach 100%, we must face a situation and I know it's present in the Venezuelan enterprises when
07:13they have these investments or multilateral finances they need to be competitive and there is when I ask to the
07:22National Economic Council to install a technical table to define the public politics that are required
07:32to impose that productive impulsive financial fiscal matter. We are moving forward in the tributary reform to redistribute the fiscal,
07:45I recognize the tributary even though the lot couldn't be possible because we are in permanent dialogue.
07:54Well, although we are going to the fiscal and tributary reform, it will be ready in the coming days. And
08:01it also asks to the Vice President of Government, Anabel Pereira, that tomorrow informs the country all of the equipments
08:11that will eliminate to easily the exportation of the products you are producing.
08:20And we are ready to simplify all the process and we are ready to simplify all the process of exporting.
08:25And in that way it will also be degenerated in the U.S. currency and also in all the matters
08:35we continue working.
08:38Before the end of the year we will have leading some tramites and we can eliminate those obstacles that if
08:49you cause the product and the entrepreneurs and the commerces.
08:57So it is important and it is important and we have advanced and we are moving forward to the modernization
09:06process and digitalization of all the tributary systems.
09:11So for this way we hope, come with you, I told Tito when I arrived, I came in here to
09:22have homework that you made it together.
09:26The government team is ready to accelerate productivity and to see what the capacity needs from the 52% to
09:39be at 100% so that our national enterprises become petitives and reunites with the international counterparts in equality of
09:51conditions.
09:54Well, when we are moving, we have read an economic program that very soon the country will know what is
10:02our economic program to 2040 and 2050.
10:06Of course, the recovery of the economy is together with the oil production data, oil production how it's translated in
10:19the agroindustry growth and in the commerce growth and the other sectors, the logic sector.
10:28There are many sectors that will be activated in the coming five days.
10:38So we have all these 35 billion US dollars are signed and we are moving to actions and I have
10:47shown all of this graphic how these.
10:53here is the owner of the aero building, the first sector where it will have hotels and providers.
11:03I've been told, I was reunited with a U.S. inversionist, and he told me,
11:10we don't have where to stay in the Tigre state, it's full.
11:16We don't have where to stay in the Tigre state, it's full too, that's what he's telling me.
11:22So the hotel sector, we must see the two different sectors, what is your plan?
11:29Ask them, the offer plan to the escrowing plan, ask them.
11:35We'll have more international flights this Wednesday, tomorrow,
11:41tomorrow the first Qatar Airways will arrive, it will be a two-weeks frequency that will impose
11:53to the international commerce, we'll have more international flights, so we need more hotels.
12:01The second phase, next year's constructions, five ambassadors that is subscribed to the NE enterprise.
12:14And Ayacucho 8 just imagines the impulse I will have in the oil zone,
12:23and more contracting works and providers.
12:30All we have to Chevron, not only the binational, the binational is really important,
12:39and it's breaking records of productions, every day, every day breaks production records.
12:44One of the agreements with the binational, and it's creating more jobs in the Zulia state.
12:54The gas consumption has incremented, because there is more economic activity, more jobs.
13:01That is what we want, more jobs, so this is the invitation.
13:07My proposal, let's concentrate in a plan to how to accelerate and increment the productivity.
13:17And I ask that in four weeks we have that plan, because with that plan, we can be seated to
13:23the bilateral
13:24and tell them that plan to the private sector, it'll be distributed to other sectors that we have discussed with
13:33you,
13:34together with you, taking account in all this process, all this process.
13:39That's what I wanted, to come here and ask you all for the invitation,
13:44but tell you that we have duties to make to all this process and plan that I'll visualize
13:52how Venezuela's reborn to the 2040, 2050, and I can be in a solid growth of an economy,
14:01that the Venezuelan people can reach, and workers of our country, which enterprises, government,
14:11and things can see which spaces with labor consensus can be to the service of this economic growth,
14:19because the economic growth must be translated into the social happiness of the Venezuelan people.
14:25So, thank you very much.
14:27So, let's work to the industry in Venezuela and recover its capacities.
14:35I'll hug you all.
