Policy

In this post I analyze the Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) Index recently published for Bolivia and other Latin American countries by the Bank of Spain. Using these data, I explore the recent evolution of economic uncertainty in Bolivia, its comparison with the rest of the region, and its possible relationship with recent political events. The results suggest that Bolivia remains among the countries with relatively high levels of uncertainty, reinforcing the importance of predictable economic policies and institutional frameworks based on clear rules. Reducing discretion in public policy can help strengthen economic confidence and create more favorable conditions for investment and growth.
