The ledgers

The economy, with the arguments attached

This cluster does not pick a winner among the statistical offices. Where they conflict, the page shows the range and the date.

Oil is the argument people mean when they say the country is rich. Coffee, cocoa, and gold are smaller lines, and one of them does not even get its own row in the public bulletin.

None of these figures is a price for $VZLA. The token is at the bottom, after the question.

The question

If the offices disagree, who gets to say what the country is worth?

• 2025 GDP, depending who you askFor 2025, IMF prints $101.5 billion, the World Bank $99.7 billion, and OPEC $82.8 billion. Per-person figures disagree too.
• Who owns the oil is not the reserve lineOPEC’s 2026 bulletin: 303.701 billion barrels of proven crude at end-2025, and 2025 output of 1.081 million barrels a day.

• Cocoa: the bulletin does not name VenezuelaICCO’s May 30, 2025 bulletin puts 2023/24 world cocoa at 4.368 million tonnes. Venezuela has no line of its own.

Questions

Which GDP is correct?

These pages do not referee that. IMF, the World Bank, and OPEC published different 2025 levels. The range is the fact.

Is this a forecast desk?

No. IMF marks 2026 as the projection year in the April 2026 WEO. Later years on that series are labeled projections.

Where is the buy button?

Under the question. The price of the token is not in these tables.
