Although the deportation of Venezuelan citizens from the United States may generate specific impacts, especially for those in irregular situations, it is vital to clarify that the economy of Venezuela does not depend on remittances as other nations in the region do. In fact, their contribution to the national GDP does not exceed 2%, according to economist Luis Oliveros.
📉 Immigration policies affect undocumented migrants, not the national economy
Most impacts caused by deportations fall within the family and personal sphere, where emotional ties and economic routines may be temporarily altered. The deported undocumented migrant stops generating income from abroad, but this does not represent a collapse or a structural crisis for the country.
Economist Asdrúbal Oliveros states:
Unlike countries like El Salvador or Guatemala, where remittances represent more than 20% of GDP, in Venezuela their macroeconomic weight is limited.
📈 Venezuela advances thanks to sectors that resist sanctions
Agriculture, trade, digital economy, non-traditional exports, and the crypto boom have become active pillars of internal growth. Despite years of international restrictions, the Venezuelan people have developed innovative mechanisms to sustain and expand their economy, including:
The growing use of cryptocurrencies and fintechs as alternatives for payments and savings.
New regional trade corridors with allied countries.
The local industrialization of productive sectors, previously dependent on imports.
💬 Changes that optimize the sending of remittances
In the face of tightening immigration policies, many Venezuelans have opted to expedite remittances or migrate to safer technologies such as stablecoins or decentralized platforms, which allows them to maintain family support without relying on traditional methods or exposing themselves to excessive costs or tax regulations.
✅ Venezuela is not on pause: it advances with its own strength
Venezuelan families receiving remittances may feel the impact of certain immigration decisions from the United States, but the national economy continues its course with solid internal fundamentals. Remittances help, but they do not determine the economic direction of the country, which today bets on technological sovereignty, multipolar cooperation, and commercial dynamism.
