US Treasury Extends Protection for PDVSA Bonds Until November
The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a general license shielding transactions related to Venezuela's state oil firm PDVSA from creditor action, extending the protection through November, according to Anadolu Agency.
The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a general license extending protection for bonds tied to Venezuela's state oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), until November, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The license shields PDVSA-related transactions from legal action by creditors, the report said, effectively delaying any attempts to seize assets connected to the bonds during the extended period.
Anadolu Agency reported that the move continues a pattern of periodic extensions the Treasury Department has issued in relation to PDVSA's financial obligations.
The report did not provide additional details on the specific terms of the license or the reasoning behind the extension.
Venezuela's state oil sector has been the subject of ongoing U.S. sanctions and financial restrictions in recent years, though the source did not elaborate on the broader sanctions context surrounding this latest action.
