According to CoinMeta, the U.S. Treasury Department is considering providing short-term bridge loans to help Venezuela repay its approximately $2.3 billion debt owed to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in order to restore its financing eligibility. The IDB approved renewed contact with Venezuela on Friday. After settling the debt, Venezuela could receive up to $6 billion in loans from the bank over the next two years, and the World Bank may also provide up to $5 billion during the same period. The United States plans to provide funds to the IDB through overnight financing arrangements, rather than directly allocating money to Venezuela. This plan may attract attention from the U.S. Congress, as Democratic Senator Warren has previously opposed using the Foreign Exchange Stability Fund to guarantee financial institutions that invest in Venezuela.
