Delcy Rodríguez took the podium at Fedecámaras’ 82nd Annual Assembly with a direct message: tax reform isn’t a draft sitting in a drawer; it’s happening this year. The acting president spoke of «harmonizing the tax burden» to put it at the service of growth, listening to business sectors, and reorganizing responsibilities between the private sector and the state. So far, it sounded like boardroom talk. But for Venezuelans who make a living exchanging USDT for bolívars every day, that announcement hits very close to home.

The Venezuelan Confederation of Industrialists brought together businesspeople, trade associations, representatives of multilateral organizations, and the economic cabinet at the Eurobuilding Hotel in Caracas for its annual conference. The central message was ambitious: revive domestic manufacturing and project 14% growth for 2027. But behind the optimistic rhetoric lies a set of troubling figures that hit close to home for anyone operating with digital currencies in the country.

📊 A shift in rhetoric that the crypto market listened to closely
At the 82nd Annual Assembly of Fedecámaras, Seniat Superintendent Román Maniglia made a remark that quickly spread among accountants, merchants and—even though he did not mention them—crypto-asset operators: he does not want the agency to grow on the back of fines, but through the country’s economic growth. The statement, accompanied by a full tax panel, points to a reform that would affect the Organic Tax Code, income tax, VAT, harmonization with municipal and state governments, and the ever-controversial parafiscal system.
