The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has accepted the appointment of Calixto Ortega as Venezuela’s new governor. Ortega is a close advisor to Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s vice president, specifically on economic matters. His appointment signals Venezuela’s attempt to re-engage with the IDB and potentially secure new funding. This move comes after a period of limited interaction between Venezuela and the bank. Ortega’s role will be crucial in navigating discussions with the IDB regarding financial assistance. The appointment was reported by EL NACIONAL, a Venezuelan news outlet. It remains to be seen what impact Ortega’s leadership will have on securing financial support for Venezuela.
