>No, Venezuela does not have a Rothschild-controlled central bank. Venezuela’s Central Bank is fully state-owned and controlled by the government.
Claims suggesting otherwise are false and have been circulated as part of long-standing conspiracy theories about the Rothschild family's global financial influence.
While the Venezuelan government hired Rothschild & Co. as a financial adviser in 2024 to assess its foreign debt and review its international assets and liabilities
, this does not imply ownership or control of the central bank. Rothschild & Co. has previously advised Venezuela on debt restructuring matters, including a 2017 meeting with creditors in London
, but such advisory roles are distinct from ownership of national financial institutions. The majority of central banks, including Venezuela’s, are publicly owned and not controlled by private families
