Petrocaribe Energy Supply Agreement
Petrocaribe Energy Supply Agreement is a cooperation Agreement for Energy Security among the Caribbean and Central American Countries. It was established by Venezuela in June 2005.
It was initiated by the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The deal helped address the 32% demand of the country in the oil sector.
Since its founding, Petrocaribe has been a crucial source of financing for the region’s oil-
importing nations. In order to acquire oil, it developed a financing program with conditions that change in accordance with price changes within set limits.
