The US Treasury Department announced on Tuesday the suspension of sanctions against Venezuela’s Central Bank and three other financial institutions in the country.

This partial lifting of economic sanctions marks a step towards the gradual normalisation of relations between the United States and Venezuela.

It follows the US State Department’s announcement in March of the restoration of diplomatic ties between Caracas and Washington, which had been severed since 2019.
