The Central Bank of Venezuela published an update on the participation of its acting president, Luis A. Pérez G., in the first LatAm Economic Forum, an international meeting that brings together 14 central bank governors and six deputy governors from Latin America and Europe, along with financial supervisors, academics and monetary policy researchers. The forum is focused on capital flows, exchange rates and geopolitics, with discussion centred on the region's economic challenges in a geopolitically complex environment. Held from 7 to 9 May at the Bank of Spain's Castillo de Bará in Roda de Bará, Tarragona, the event includes an opening intervention by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde on the global role of stablecoins. The agenda also features four closed-door panels on tariffs and geoeconomics, exchange rates and monetary policy, capital flow management, and the impact of trade tariffs on international economies. The bank said the Venezuelan delegation is participating in those working sessions and described Venezuela's presence at the forum as part of the normalization of its relationship with multilateral financial institutions.
