Bolivia’s GDP could contract in 2026
The World Bank forecasts a possible 1.1 % contraction in Bolivia's Gross Domestic Product this year, a situation marked by a dollar shortage and a decline in the hydrocarbons sector
In its recent projections for 2026, the World Bank indicated that Bolivia could experience a 1.1 % contraction in its GDP.
According to the international institution, the nation could experience the steepest decline in Latin America, due in part to factors that have persisted over time, such as the dollar shortage and the decline in the hydrocarbons sector.
In its World Economic Outlook 2026 report, the World Bank also anticipates “a greater deterioration by 2027, when the Bolivian economy could contract by 1.5 percent.”
Regarding the outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean, the World Bank projects average growth of 2.3 % this year and 2.6 % in 2027, as trade flows normalize and domestic demand improves.
