Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro reported this Monday during the “Con Maduro+”program that the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 7.71% in the first six months of 2025. This result exceeds the estimates of international organizations and places the Venezuelan economy among the fastest-growing in Latin America.
Maduro attributed this progress to the Bolivarian Government’s economic policies, which have fostered productive stabilization and investment attraction. Among the sectors that drove this growth are: hydrocarbons: 14.99% (recovery with «lungs of our own»), mining: 11.23%, accommodation and food services: 8.25%, commerce: 7.19%, information and telecommunications: 7.13%, manufacturing: 6.24%.
Furthermore, the president highlighted the increase in iron, gold, and coal production, as well as the 4.6% growth in agriculture and 7% in animal production.
Maduro emphasized that the national economy continues to grow, registering a 7% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. He also highlighted the incorporation of 1,085 new national products into the market and a 30% increase in commercial transactions, reflecting greater demand for goods and services.
