Graciela Urdaneta

Graciela Urdaneta is a senior economist at Ecoanalítica, a consulting firm specializing in economic analysis and policy in Venezuela. She has been vocal about the impact of U.S. sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry, particularly highlighting the significant role of Chevron in the country's oil production. Urdaneta has warned that the recent measures imposed by the U.S. government, including tariffs on oil imports from Venezuela and the potential withdrawal of Chevron, could lead to severe disruptions in oil production and fuel shortages, exacerbating the already critical economic situation in the country.
