Venezuela
On today's podcast, Venezuela's Acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, reported on the inflow of resources resulting from oil sales, which will be allocated to improving workers' incomes. During a presidential event, the Head of State explained that of the first five hundred million dollars expected, three hundred million dollars have already entered the country. 

These initial flows will be channeled to supply the official foreign exchange market, stabilize the dollar, reduce inflationary pressures, and allow companies and individuals to access foreign currency through the banking system without triggering an increase of Bolivar influence.
