Bolivia's ongoing economic crisis

17 min10 augusti 2025

The country was the economic success story of the 2000s. But declining natural gas production has lead to a downturn.

Now, fuel and food prices are soaring and Bolivian businesses are floundering. Inflation is around 15% - one of the highest rates in the region.

There are protests in the streets - so what could help this once prosperous country?

And will the upcoming general election change things?

Produced and presented by Jane Chambers
