Venezuela Takes Over Fiat Oil Industry in Nationalization
Venezuela begins nationalization of its fiat oil sector, the world’s fifth largest, after negotiations with Exxon, Shell, Gulf, Mobil and Texaco. Government bonds worth 1.01 billion will compensate private owners over five years, with international firms retaining contracts and technical aid roles while 14 state companies run operations. The move aims to protect revenues but risks governance, tech, and political interference, as President Perez warns it will be difficult to manage and keep efficiency high.
