Summary
On this episode of The Current Account, we discuss the latest standoff in Venezuela with Eurasia Group's Risa Grais-Targow. Risa leads our coverage on Central America and Venezuela. We talk through Guaido's rise to power, the current standoff between Maduro and Western powers recognizing Guaido as the legitimate authority, and what investors should expect moving forward. Hint: it's not a quick and easy transition from Maduro to Guaido, or any successor that comes along. For now, Maduro’s fall does not appear imminent. Key signposts to watch are the scope and nature of social unrest (whether it increasingly spreads to Chavista strongholds), as well as any indicators that the security apparatus is less willing or able to contain unrest than it has been in the past.
