Venezuela's monetary gold reserves experienced a significant reduction, falling from approximately 105 tonnes in 2019 to 47 tonnes, according to César Batiz, director of El Pitazo, speaking on the Punto y Contexto programme.

Amid this reduction of more than half the country's gold reserves, around 31 tonnes remain deposited at the Bank of England, raising a paradox over why this gold was not recovered by the country during the loss of its reserves.
