What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Bolivia is seeking a financing agreement with the International Monetary Fund to address current fiscal pressures. The country abandoned its fixed exchange rate, moving to a flexible system where the boliviano depreciated roughly 30% to around 9.73 per dollar. Separately, the United States kept Bolivia on its trafficking watch list for the second consecutive year.

The IMF financing talks, estimated at a minimum of $2.5 billion, are critical for the new regime to stabilize its economy. The currency shift and ongoing unrest have led to significant economic losses, which reached approximately $3 billion. The US watch list status could influence Washington's support for new loans.

A nationwide crisis in Bolivia has begun, stemming from ongoing labor disputes and protests across the Amazon and Altiplano regions.
