IMF officials and Venezuelan officials held discussions on using special drawing rights to address earthquake recovery needs. The talks focused on how SDR allocations could support relief and reconstruction efforts in affected areas. No specific amounts or timelines were announced during the meeting.
Special drawing rights serve as an international reserve asset created by the IMF. Countries can exchange SDRs for usable currencies to meet balance-of-payments needs.
Further technical discussions are expected to determine whether any allocation will proceed.
