Bolivia: Sixth Review Under the Stand-By Arrangement and Requests for Modification and Waiver of Nonobservance and Applicability of Performance Criteria, Rephasing, and Reduction of Access
November 2, 2005
Summary
The staff report for the Sixth Review under the Stand-By Arrangement and Requests for Waiver of Performance Criteria on Bolivia highlights economic developments and preliminary macroeconomic framework. The economy is characterized by a number of vulnerabilities that require policy vigilance. These include a highly dollarized financial system subject to deposit runs and a fiscal position sensitive to revenue/expenditure-sharing arrangements between the central and subnational governments. Policies to ensure continued macroeconomic stability will provide continuity and a framework for sound policy action by the successor government.
