Venezuela’s Power Crunch Hits the West: Rolling blackouts in Zulia and Mérida are cutting into daily life and business activity, with residents describing outages that return after a shaky 2025 stabilization—raising fresh doubts about how fast the country can rebuild its fragile grid. Banking Momentum: BTG Pactual posted a record Q1, with adjusted net income of R$4.8B and ROAE at 26.6%, helped by the first full consolidation of Banco Pan and a growing consumer finance push. Caribbean Skills, Not Open Borders: Bermuda’s home affairs minister says deeper Caricom ties could help fill hard-to-staff roles, but insists it won’t mean open borders. Payments Push in Latin America: Bitget launched “Scan to Pay” using USDT for offline merchants in select Latin American markets, aiming to bridge the gap between mobile access and usable checkout. Small-Business Reality Check (Cuba): A Cuban mipyme plans to sell electric/hybrid vehicles in Cuban pesos amid the currency squeeze—showing how local firms are redesigning sales and supply chains to survive. Deal & Growth Watch: eXp Realty welcomed INITIA’s ~1,000-agent network across Mexico and Colombia; Circle Logistics expanded freight services for data center construction. Markets & Mining: Brasnova started field sampling at its Capela gold project in Bahia; Barrick reported strong Q1 gold output and cash flow. Legal Deadlines: Investor-rights firms renewed notices tied to Globant and Gossamer Bio securities class actions.
