bolivia ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Bolivia is one of the poorest and least developed countries in Latin America. Following a disastrous economic crisis during the early 1980s, reforms spurred private investment, stimulated economic growth, and cut poverty rates in the 1990s. The period 2003-05 was characterized by political instability, racial tensions, and violent protests against plans - subsequently abandoned - to export Bolivia's newly discovered natural gas reserves to large Northern Hemisphere markets. In 2005, the government passed a controversial hydrocarbons law that imposed significantly higher royalties and required foreign firms then operating under risk-sharing contracts to surrender all production to the state energy company in exchange for a predetermined service fee. The global recession slowed growth, but Bolivia recorded the highest growth rate in South America during 2009. During 2010-12 high world commodity prices sustained rapid growth and large trade surpluses. However, a lack of foreign investment in the key sectors of mining and hydrocarbons, along with growing conflict among social groups pose challenges for the Bolivian economy.

Information provided

As the General Manager was absent, we spoke with Moisés Huaricallo who provided commercial information, except for figures as he was not authorized for doing so.

 

When we consulted the General Manager, Miguel Adam, he categorically refused to cooperate, pointing out that he was not interested in cooperating with our investigation since the company's purchases are only paid by cash and they do not require any kind of support, and unkindly ended our conversation.

 

For supplementing the information, we consulted different public sources where no recent accounting figures could be obtained.

 

 

SALES

US$ 0.00 ()

FINANCIAL SITUATION

UNDETERMINED

The company's Financial Standing is considered to be UNDETERMINED since there are no financial figures that allow us to asses its results in the last fiscal year.

No final operating results are known. The little credit experience does not show us its actual liquidity capacity. Poor or no trade references do not allow us to determine its payment habits. There is poor information on the owners' creditworthiness.
