The IDB Group will partner with Bolivia during the 2026–2030 period to support a transition toward a sustainable growth model driven by the private sector. The Country Strategy aims to contribute to fiscal sustainability, promote economic growth, and reduce poverty through targeted interventions aligned with national priorities.
This strategy identifies three priority areas:
- Promoting fiscal sustainability and institutional capacity
- Bolivia Crece: Creating conditions to promote private-sector investment
- Strengthening social well-being
These areas address Bolivia’s main challenges and opportunities: strengthening macroeconomic stability, creating favorable conditions for private-sector development, and making progress in reducing social and territorial disparities. Together, they aim to lay the groundwork for more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable growth.
Through these priorities, the IDB Group will support reforms and investments aimed at strengthening macroeconomic stability and public management, improving the regulatory environment and business climate, boosting private investment, and expanding access to quality public services and more effective social protection systems.
