VENE · ECONOMIST Analysis
- Fact
- OFAC emitió la GL 24A el 18 de junio de 2026, que actualiza y reemplaza a la GL 24 (5-ago-2019). Mantiene autorizadas las telecomunicaciones y el correo hacia, desde y dentro de Venezuela cuando involucran al Gobierno de Venezuela.
- Implication
- Sostiene y moderniza la base legal para la conectividad de telecomunicaciones y correo —el carril de menor fricción del reengagement, orientado al consumidor y la diáspora—. Para operadores de telecom y carriers de mensajería, reduce el riesgo de compliance sobre tráfico y pagos con contrapartes estatales.
