Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced on Thursday that Laura Guerra Angulo has resigned as president of the Central Bank of Venezuela, with Vice President of the Monetary Authority Luis Pérez set to assume the role.
The resignation comes two days after the United States lifted sanctions on Venezuela’s public banking system, including the central bank, a move Rodríguez described as key to her administration’s economic management.
Guerra Angulo, who had led the central bank since April 2025, will continue to serve in other government activities, Rodríguez said, though she provided no further details.
Luis Pérez, previously the vice president of the monetary authority, will take over as head of the Central Bank of Venezuela effective immediately.
The leadership change follows a broader restructuring of the bank’s board amid ongoing economic emergency measures in the country.
