This move comes shortly after news that President Nicolás Maduro was arrested by US forces on January 3rd.
Speaking to Business Insider, Charles Myers, president of political risk consulting firm Signum Global Advisors and former vice president of investment consulting firm Evercore, said the general sentiment among investors he spoke with was one of cautious optimism following the news of Maduro's arrest.
Mr. Myers believes that the key factor determining Venezuela's success in the next 12-24 months will be foreign investment. According to him, Venezuela's story from now on will revolve around foreign investment, particularly in the oil and gas sector. In addition, sectors such as construction and tourism are also opening up huge investment opportunities.
Mr. Myers added that the company had anticipated developments in Venezuela and had prepared for investor groups to be ready to depart as soon as opportunities arose. Previously, Signum had also organized similar trips for asset managers and hedge funds to Syria and Ukraine.
According to Myers, astute investors anticipated this scenario early on, and many of them actually bought bonds in anticipation. He assessed that the current level of cautious optimism is even higher than in the case of Syria, because this is an action directly led by the United States.
The chairman of Signum Global Advisors further emphasized that from today, the US will play a key role in all areas, especially for the Venezuelan economy . Therefore, he believes that the market reaction this time is somewhat more enthusiastic than in similar situations in the past.
