During the «Zona Digital» segment of the «Con Maduro+» program, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, emphasized that the key to confronting the economic crisis Venezuela is experiencing lies in production:
«The best way to resist is by producing,» he stated, emphasizing that each of the 13 economic engines is fully operational. This radical approach challenges the narrative of shortages and inefficiency that has prevailed in recent years.
Pharmaceutical Sector: A Pillar of Resilience:
Within this context, the President highlighted the remarkable growth of the pharmaceutical market, which grew 14.6% in March 2025 compared to the same month the previous year.
This growth is not only an indicator of recovery, but also reflects the government’s systematic effort to strengthen a vital sector for public health.
«This is part of the economic effort of the 13 Engines,» said Maduro, referring to the priority given to the pharmaceutical sector.
President Maduro also highlighted the reduction in shortages, which once reached 90%, to a 100% supply of pharmaceuticals in the country:
«Ninety-ninety percent of pharmaceutical products are made in Venezuela,» he asserted, highlighting the potential of the local industry and the government’s commitment to achieving complete self-sufficiency.
A promising future for the Venezuelan economy:
In information shared by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), was highlighted a growth of 9.3% in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by the first quarter of 2025.
This figure represents a historic turning point in the context of an economy that has faced serious difficulties. In a country where external and internal adversities often seem to stifle economic development, this growth stands as a sign of resilience and determination:
“The economic war the country is facing will not be an obstacle to progress,” concluded the head of state, reaffirming his commitment to a productive and sovereign Venezuela.
