Venezuela plans to focus on recovering 31 tons of gold reserves from the Bank of England to fund reconstruction after earthquakes.
The gold is valued at $4 billion and has been withheld by the Bank of England despite legal battles and requests.
Two earthquakes in late June caused over 6,000 deaths and significant damage.
Inflation in July accelerated to 19.9% from 13.8% in June, with annualized inflation at 575.9%.

What would change the assessment
- If the Bank of England releases the 31 tons of gold to Venezuela within 90 days, the article's implication of ongoing refusal would be invalidated. (within 90 days — Bank of England official statements or news reports)
- If Venezuela's monthly inflation rate in August 2025 does not decelerate as the Central Bank expects, the article's projection would be contradicted. (within 30 days — Banco Central de Venezuela inflation data)
