LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
BOLIVIA
â an agreement w/ the IMF is necessary, but its implementation is complicated. The economic program proposes a comprehensive stabilization of the Bolivian economy through fiscal adjustment, monetary control, and a more flexible exchange rate regime, but the initial step must come from the government, which must begin a major institutional reform, such as eliminating fuel subsidies and opening the Bolivian market to foreign investment. Political agreements must be reached first in order to approve the new laws currently underway. [El Diario]
â the blockades are preventing 5 million people from escaping poverty and causing more than 2 million Bolivians to go to bed hungry. Therefore, the Bolivian Institute of Foreign Trade (IBCE) maintains that Bolivia cannot endure any more blockades, as the country needs to invest, produce, and generate employment. [El Diario]
