Key Insights On The Defence & Security Sector Of Venezuela
President Hugo Chávez continues to have the support of the majority of the Venezuelan electorate. He has polarised Venezuelan politics in terms of for or against Chávez. He appeals to the middle and upper classes as an extreme nationalist willing to take on the likes of the US, while to the poor, he is popular as he ensures a proportion of the country’s oil wealth reaches the lower classes. The Chávez administration has managed to pull many South American governments towards regional integration with a strong emphasis on ideological solidarity, largely due to a common ideological affinity. One of Hugo Chávez’s main objectives has been to pursue regional economic integration and to provide a political counterweight to the US in hemispheric affairs.
Venezuela’s armed forces are amongst the smallest in the region, but were traditionally technologically superior to many of its regional counterparts. However, this superiority is becoming increasingly insignificant. Venezuela plays little part in the world arms market. It imports nearly all its weapons, and in fact has almost no indigenous defence production capability. Venezuela’s marked dependence on weapons imports has traditionally been somewhat offset by the diverse suppliers from which the country purchases its arms.
Modernisation and upgrades under the new procurement programme are likely to be externally directed, with European and Middle Eastern countries expected to make up most of the suppliers. However, the overall increase in procurement could prove beneficial for the defence industry if co-operative or domestic bids are chosen for later contracts. Defence spending will increase over the forecast period as a result of high oil prices that have enabled the government to go on an arms procurement spending spree. However, in May 2006, the US imposed a ban on arms exports to Venezuela, having tried to stop the sale of military aircraft from Spain and Brazil that use US manufactured components.
It believes that Hugo Chávez, is here to stay. Chávez was re-elected in December, and will have dominated Venezuelan politics since his election in 1998. The anti-Chávez opposition movement has been deeply divided since the failed coup and subsequent failure to make the recall referendum stick. Venezuela is not likely to develop a competitive defence industry in the foreseeable future and will remain import-dependent for its weapons purchases and diverse in the sources it relies on for those purchases.
