The La Guaira Chamber of Commerce anticipates the informal sector will lead the economic recovery following the recent earthquake. Despite the disaster occurring 60 days prior, the chamber reports no fiscal relief measures have been implemented to aid businesses. Cipriana Ramos, first vice president of the Chamber, suggests the recovery process will mirror that of the 1999 Cipriana landslide event. The organization believes the informal economy will be the quickest to rebound, serving as an initial engine for broader economic revitalization. This expectation highlights a reliance on self-sufficiency in the face of limited governmental support. The lack of tax relief poses challenges for formal businesses attempting to rebuild and contribute to the recovery efforts. Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
