80% of the productive sector in the most earthquake-affected Venezuelan region has experienced revenue declines.
85.4% of surveyed companies cannot guarantee job preservation; 35.2% lack operational certainty, 31.7% anticipate inevitable layoffs, and 18.5% will retain only part of their staff.
The survey is based on 430 representatives from various economic sectors and is updated weekly.
The June 24 earthquakes (magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5) left at least 6,438 dead, tens of thousands injured, and over 24,000 homes damaged.

What would change the assessment
- If the World Bank's damage estimate is revised to a significantly different figure (e.g., more than 20% change) within the next year. (within 365 days — World Bank reports)
- If the business association's survey shows a significant improvement (e.g., revenue declines drop below 50%) within the next six months. (within 180 days — Business association updates)
