The Venezuelan authorities plan to issue about $17.8 billion-worth of bonds in the second half of 2009, according to a report issued by Barclays Capital. The bonds will be split, with $8 billion issued in the external market and $9.8 billion sold domestically.
If this issuance materializes, Venezuela’s total indebtedness will increase to $98.7 billion, 30.7% of GDP, by the end of the year. This is up from $64.7 billion, 20.1% of GDP, at the end of 2008.
