Venezuela’s interim authorities plan to disclose a substantially larger sovereign debt figure ahead of what is described as the world’s largest restructuring. Multiple outlets report that the government in Caracas will recognize a debt pile of about $240 billion. The figure is described as much higher than earlier market estimates and is expected to become a central reference point for negotiations with creditors.
Euronews reports that Delcy Rodríguez’s interim government intends to formally acknowledge the $240 billion debt as part of efforts to restore Venezuela’s access to global capital markets after the fall of Nicolás Maduro. Financial Times coverage likewise says Caracas is preparing to reveal the same $240 billion total, framing it as a major, unprecedented restructuring challenge.
While the reports differ in emphasis—some focusing on the scale of the restructuring and others on the policy goal of returning to global markets—they converge on the key point that Venezuela will officially disclose a $240 billion debt amount, larger than previously believed, as a foundation for a restructuring process.
