Bolivian dollar rate holds above Bs 12.58, extending weekly climb

The US dollar in Bolivia's parallel market continues its sustained rise, trading at Bs 12.58 on Monday after a week of constant increases, remaining above the 12 bolivianos threshold. The persistent depreciation of the boliviano signals ongoing pressure on the country's foreign-exchange reserves and could feed inflation expectations. The trend reflects deepening currency stress amid political and economic uncertainty, though official intervention remains unclear.
