Venezuela Considers Restructuring its Debts

World Business Report

Available for over a year

President Nicholas Maduro has announced Venezuela could seek to restructure its debts. We get reaction from Diego Ferro of Greylock Capital Management in New York, which owns some Venezuelan debt. Also in the programme, we consider how best to regulate flying drones, with Robert Garbett of Drone Major, which provides products and services to the drone industry. We have a report from the floor of the London Metals Exchange on whether in the internet era there is a future for open outcry trading, where traders shout and gesticulate at each other. Plus we look back at the week's big business stories with Matt Campbell of Bloomberg, and Nina Trentmann of the Wall Street Journal. (Picture: Venezuelan currency. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
