6 * The banking and insurance sub-sectors are not included in this initial offer on services. Those sub-sectors are currently subject to legal restrictions on the access of foreign investment. In the banking sub-sector, authorization of the establishment in Venezuela of branches of banks and other credit institutions incorporated abroad is prohibited, as is the incorporation of such institutions in Venezuela when their capital is not wholly Venezuelan-owned. Investment and banks of Latin American countries are excluded from this prohibition provided those countries grant reciprocity to Vqnezuelan capital. As far as national treatment is concerned, the branches of foreign banks currently operating in the country are subject to a special regime which imposes operating restrictions. The general regime applies only to domestic banks. As far as insurance is concerned, foreign ownership of companies is permitted only up to 20 per cent of their share-capital; there is a prohibition on the establishment in the country of agencies or branches of foreign insurance brokerage companies or representatives of agents or brokers of foreign insurance companies not domiciled or residing in the country; and fines exist for the contracting of insurance abroad by persons domiciled in the country or on goods located within the national territory. The National Government is aware that the restrictive regime summarized above is not in line with the structural adjustment programme that has beer. applied in the Venezuelan economy for the last two years to make it more open and competitive, and therefore in mid-1991 submitted to Congress a bill for the reform of the legal regime governing banking and will shortly do the same with a bill for the modification of the law governing insurance and re-insurance companies. This draft legislation is part of a comprehensive reform of tihe Venezuelan financial system and once adopted will allow the gradual elimination of barriers to access for foreign investment in banking and insurance institutions, as well as operations in Venezuela by such institutions that are wholly or partially foreign-owned, until a situation of national treatment is attained within a period of not more than 5 years.
