Bolivia: Gasoline shortages hit Santa Cruz, imported fuel fills gap at higher price
El DeberLO·BO·2 days ago
Bolivia's state energy firm YPFB increased fuel distribution, but gasoline lines persist in several regions, indicating supply-demand imbalance or distribution inefficiencies. The ANH has intensified controls after detecting repeated loading and possible diversions, including a station closure in Santa Cruz and vehicles loading up to three times daily in Tarija. The situation suggests ongoing fuel scarcity, with potential for social unrest or economic disruption if unresolved.
