This report, authored by senior geopolitical and macro strategists at Amundi Investment Institute, assesses the market and geopolitical implications of the US intervention in Venezuela. 

  • Maduro’s removal points to a managed political transition, reducing immediate domestic disruption but leaving material medium-term governance risks.
