Bolivia cuts diesel subsidies, Congress ratifies $1.9B IMF deal amid crisis
Euronews·BO·about 7 hours ago
Bolivia's president announced the complete elimination of diesel subsidies, effective immediately, following congressional approval of an IMF credit to stabilize the economy. This marks a significant policy reversal, as fuel subsidies have been a long-standing pillar of Bolivia's economic model. The move will likely raise domestic fuel prices, potentially fueling inflation and social unrest, while improving fiscal sustainability.
