INTRODUCTION:

The economy of Bolivia has had a historic pattern of a single-commodity focus.From silver to tin to coca, Bolivia has enjoyed only occasional periods of economicdiversification. Political instability and difficult topography have constrained effortsto modernize the agricultural sector. Similarly, relatively low population growthcoupled with low life expectancy and high incidence of disease has kept the laborsupply in flux and prevented industries from flourishing. Rampant inflation andcorruption also have thwarted development.

Bolivia in colonial times had the world's largest reserves of gold and silver1, shouldalso be noted that Bolivia became one of the main tin-producing countries,becoming the first world producer of this metal in the early twentieth century( approximately), but Bolivia's economy depended only on iron ore prices on theworld market for decades. Today, Bolivia's main exports are composed of mineralssuch as zinc or tin, natural gas2 and soybeans.

Bolivia has the second largest natural gas reserves in South America but did notreach 1% of total world reserves. These reserves are considered today a source ofa broad national debate about its future use.

The agribusiness sector has had a major impact on the Bolivian economy due to atechnical and optimization of agricultural products such as: Cattle, the production ofsoy, sugar production, rice production, etc.

Tourism is a growth industry because Bolivia is a country located deep contrastsbetween the high peaks of the Andes and the Amazon rainforest.

BACKGROUND

Bolivia's 2002 gross domestic product (GDP)3 totaled $9 billion. Economic growthis about 2.5% a year and inflation expected to be between 3% and 4% in 2002 (itwas under 1% in 2001).

Since 1985, the Government of Bolivia has implemented a far-reaching program of

macroeconomic stabilization and structural reform aimed at maintaining pricestability, creating conditions for sustained growth, and alleviating poverty. A majorreform of the customs service in recent years has significantly improvedtransparency in this area. The most important structural changes in the Bolivianeconomy have involved the capitalization of numerous public sector enterprises.(Capitalization in the Bolivian context is a form of privatization where investorsacquire a 50% share and management control of public enterprises by agreeing toinvest directly into the enterprise over several years rather than paying cash to thegovernment).

Parallel legislative reforms have locked into place market-oriented policies,especially in the hydrocarbon and telecommunication sectors, that haveencouraged private investment. Foreign investors are accorded national treatment,and foreign ownership of companies enjoys virtually no restrictions in Bolivia. Whilethe capitalization program was successful in vastly boosting foreign directinvestment (FDI) in Bolivia ($7 billion in stock during 1996-2002), FDI flows havesubsided in recent years as investors complete their capitalization contractobligations.

In 1996, three units of the Bolivian state oil corporation (YPFB)4 involved in

hydrocarbon exploration, production, and transportation were capitalized,facilitating the construction of a gas pipeline to Brazil. The government has a long-term sales agreement to sell 30 million cubic meters a day (MMcmd) of natural gasto Brazil through 2019. The Brazil pipeline carried about 21 MMcmd in 2000.Bolivia has the second-largest natural gas reserves in South America and its

Current domestic use and exports to Brazil account for just a small portion of itspotential production. Natural gas exports to Argentina resumed in 2004 at fourMMcmd.

In April 2000, violent protests over plans to privatize the water utility in the city of

Cochabamba led to nationwide disturbances. The government eventually cancelledthe contract without compensation to the investors, returning the utility to publiccontrol. The foreign investors in this project continue to pursue an investment.Dispute case against Bolivia for its actions. A similar situation occurred in 2005 inthe cities of El Alto and La Paz.

Bolivian exports were $1.3 billion in 2002, from a low of $652 million in 1991.Imports were $1.7 billion in 2002. Bolivian tariffs are a uniformly low 10%, withcapital equipment charged only 5%. Bolivia's trade deficit was $460 million in 2002.

Protest5

and widespread opposition to exporting gas through Chile led to theresignation of President Sanchez de Lozada in October 2003. The governmentheld a binding referendum in 2004 on plans to export natural gas and onhydrocarbons law reform. By May 2005, the hydrocarbons law draft was beingconsidered by the Senate.

Bolivia's trade with neighboring countries is growing, in part because of severalregional preferential trade agreements it has negotiated. Bolivia is a member of the

Andean Community and enjoys nominally free trade with other member countries(Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela). Bolivia began to implement an

association agreement with MERCOSUR (Southern Cone Common Market) inMarch 1997. The agreement provides for the gradual creation of a free trade areacovering at least 80% of the trade between the parties over a 10-year period,though economic crises in the region have derailed progress at integration. TheU.S. Andean Trade Preference and Drug Enforcement Act (ATPDEA) allownumerous Bolivian products to enter the United States free of duty on a unilateralbasis, including alpaca and llama products and, subject to a quota, cotton textiles.

The United States remains Bolivia's largest trading partner. In 2002, the UnitedStates exported $283 million of merchandise to Bolivia and imported $162 million.

Bolivia's major exports to the United States are tin, gold, jewelry, and woodproducts. Its major imports from the United States are computers, vehicles, wheat,and machinery. A Bilateral Investment Treaty between the United States andBolivia came into effect in 2001. Agriculture accounts for roughly 15% of Bolivia'sGDP. The amount of land cultivated by modern farming techniques is increasingrapidly in the Santa Cruz area, where weather allows for two crops a year.

Soybeans are the major cash crop, sold into the Andean Community market. Theextraction of minerals and hydrocarbons accounts for another 10% of GDP andmanufacturing less than 17%.

The Government of Bolivia remains heavily dependent on foreign assistance to

finance development projects. At the end of 2002, the government owed $4.5billion to its foreign creditors, with $1.6 billion of this amount owed to othergovernments and most of the balance owed to multilateral development banks.Most payments to other governments have been rescheduled on several occasionssince 1987 through the Paris Club mechanism. External creditors have been willingto do this because the Bolivian Government has generally achieved the monetaryand faget targets set by IMF programs since 1987, though economic problems inrecent years have undercut Bolivia's normally good track record. Reschedulingagreements granted by the Paris Club have allowed the individual creditorcountries to apply very soft terms to the rescheduled debt. As a result, somecountries have forgiven substantial amounts of Bolivia's bilateral debt. The U.S.Government reached an agreement at the Paris Club meeting in December 1995that reduced by 67% Bolivia's existing debt stock. The Bolivian Governmentcontinues to pay its debts to the multilateral development banks on time. Bolivia isa beneficiary of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and Enhanced HIPCdebt relief programs, which by agreement restricts Bolivia's access to new softloans. Bolivia was one of three countries in the Western hemisphere selected foreligibility for the Millennium Challenge Account and is participating as an observerin FTA negotiations.

MINING AND HYDROCARBONS

Mining is the second mining industry in Bolivia, behind oil, in the early 1980smining suffered a serious crisis due to falling mineral prices on world markets.Bolivia is one of the leading producers of tin, the major mines have been foundmineral deposits of this precious and precious stones used primarily in jewelry, andthe most requested is bolivianita, stone unique in the world.

Among the mineral wealth of the country6, the major focus in the western

departments such as Potosi, La Paz and Oruro, which are tin (4th largestproducer), silver (11th world producer), copper, tungsten, antimony, zinc, etc. Inthe tropical eastern regions, mainly in the departments of Santa Cruz and Beni, arethe most important deposits of iron) and gold (Cerro San Simon). Important alsogems like Bolivianita, Ayoreita, Anahita, Amethyst and always Millennium from thetropical lowlands.

Another important mineral deposits are the major existing national soil as the silvermine open world's largest, in the process of extraction, San Cristobal, El Mutun, the

seventh field of iron and manganese in the world with a reserve of 42 000 milliontons in the first ore in the bidding process in June 2006, which provide iron to thecountry as well as the complementation of a steel industry that will supply steel tothe entire national territory and neighboring countries. The Salar de Uyuni, thelargest reserves of potassium and lithium in the world, the latter considered theenergy of the future and that of mineral salt.

The hydrocarbons sector is the main source of income of the country, which hasthe second largest reserves of natural gas in South America, with 48 trillion cubicfeet, less oil and with a production of 16,194,089 barrels per year, natural gas isexported to neighboring countries, mainly to markets in Brazil and Argentina, thefirst is the main buyer of Bolivian gas, as it has a contract to purchase 20 millioncubic feet daily. Representing the main source of revenue, these resources weremanaged or owned by foreign companies mainly Petrobras (Brazil) and Repsol-YPF (Spain-Argentina) and many other capitalized by the state until 1 May 2006 inwhich these resources were taken over by the Bolivian state which will beadministered by the state company YPFB. Oil production is concentrated in theGaza preandina mainly related to the departments of Cochabamba, Santa Cruzand Tarija.

The production of hydrocarbons, concentrated in the east and south, is the mainsource of income, since it has the second largest natural gas reserves in South

America (48 trillion cubic feet) that is exported to Brazil and Argentina and oil fieldsin smaller quantities (16.2 million barrels per year) that supply the domestic market.

AGRICULTURE

The crop and livestock production has gained importance in recent decades mainlyin the eastern tropical.

Agriculture7 has in the past weigh heavily on Bolivia's economy because it employs

5 percent of the country's working population and accounts for 15% annual grossdomestic product, the main agricultural products are: sugar, rice, soybeans, thestar product of eastern Bolivia, which is removed, many derivatives, such as oil,soybean meal, and many other things, the cultivated area of rice is about 200,000ha, coffee, corn, potatoes and cereals and plenty other niche products.

Andean agriculture is mainly related to the consumption or domestic supply. In theAndean regions is mainly corn, wheat, potatoes and other tubers, barley, quinoa,vegetables, etc... The breeding of cattle is reduced; the indigenous livestock isgreater, consisting of camelids such as the (alpaca) which is extracted wool fortextile manufacture, by the qualities of fineness and strength of the fiber.

The tropical eastern regions are the areas of Bolivia's agricultural expansion.Currently heading agribusiness has become important in the national economy.For domestic consumption and for export are produced: rice, soy, the eighthlargest producer with 1.7 million tons, sorghum, sugar cane, sunflower, snuff,maize, cassava, cocoa, coffee and coca. Agro-industrial products, while generatinglarge dividends, have caused severe damage to ecosystems, mainly in tropicalforests.

In the livestock farming of cattle and pigs in the east has great economicimportance. In the West, raising camelids such as the (alpaca) which is extracted

wool for textile manufacture, by the qualities of fineness and strength of the fiber.

Is Bolivia's third largest producer of coca leaf in the world, which is traditionallyused since ancient times, ritual and medicinal, though some of the production isused illegally for the manufacture of cocaine

INDUSTRY

In Bolivia there are approximately 13,500 industries, of which an estimated 90%are small, the remaining classified as medium and large. Bolivian industryrepresents 35 percent of total gross domestic product (GDP), this industry is mainlyfocused on manufacturing large and small-scale sugar refining and products,leather goods, snuff factories, cement, chemical , paper, furniture, glass,explosives, and other economically important. 80% of the country's industries arelocated in the cities of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, La Paz and Cochabamba.

The country can distinguish approximately nine categories of manufacturingindustry8:

Metallurgical industry: There are several small plants that melt scrap metal toproduce valves and fittings in bronze, brass, aluminum and iron castings. Anotheractivity in this sector is the recycling of spent lead batteries scrap tin producinglead pipes, batteries and welding reconstructed. Another important fact is theconstruction of metallurgical plants of large capacity for the manufacture of steel,which will be completed in late 2007 to exploit the Mutun iron deposit.

Metal finishing industries: It consists of a large number of small companies working

mainly in the city of El Alto. Its growth is hindered by the high degree of recyclingused metal parts presented, especially in local markets of the city and popularmarkets.

Mining Industry: This sector includes the manufacture of cement, asbestos cementand glass industry. These branches extracted raw materials from mines or quarrieson its property, except asbestos cement manufacturing (DURALITE), which usesimported raw materials. The country's cement and glass have entered a phase ofgrowth in order to meet growing demand, for example, the four cement plants inthe country, undertake an accelerated growth of production, among others, themanufacture of glass bottles Cochabamba has implemented an expansion project

currently.

Petroleum industry: Until recently the country's oil industry was fully controlled bythe state company YPFB (YPFB), established in 1936 with the mission to develop,refine and distribute oil resources. As of the Capitalization Law, concessions wereforeign firms as both nationals to transport oil and natural gas, having exploration;8See the attachment section

exploitation and production were subject to risk-sharing contracts (join venture)since 1990 and refineries privatized in 1999. Until the new President Evo Moralesnationalization, as of May 1, 2006, where all reservations of hydrocarbons againbecame part of the Bolivian state, although the exploitation of those still in privatehands. The fields of oil and natural gas are located in the eastern and south. The

main operations at refineries are the distillation to fractionate crude oil, catalyticconversion to obtain high octane gasoline, and refining of heavy fractions toproduce lubricants. The final products are gasoline for vehicles, propane andbutane, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil and lubricants for machinery and industrial use. Asthe auxiliary generating electricity with natural gas turbines in Santa Cruz,Cochabamba and Chuquisaca. Due to the nature of Bolivian oil, oil production isinsufficient to meet domestic demand, and the product must be imported.

Chemical Industry: A limited but covers a wide range of activities including theproduction of basic chemicals, explosives, soaps, detergents, inks, paints andpharmaceuticals. In this sector are recycled waste oils and lubricants

manufacturing various plastic and rubber products. The chemical industries areconcentrated in La Paz and El Alto, with some factories in Cochabamba and SantaCruz. The main industries in addition to drug manufacturing plants and plastics inthe region of La Paz are in Cochabamba.

Footwear and leather tanning: tanning industry has had a remarkable growth inexport volumes in recent years. The footwear industry has had steady growth.Reaching the same to overcome each year, there are several medium and smallunits, mainly located in Cochabamba, but also in La Paz and Santa Cruz. Thelargest shoe manufacturing company in the country is Manaco.

Textiles: The textile industry was the second largest manufacturing sector after thefood industry in the 1970s, and was progressively reduced importancerepresenting diminishing value of total manufacturing. However, the textile industryhas been increasing its growth rate since the 1990s. The cotton and wool industrydeclined at the expense of synthetic fibers, a change that was profitable to exporttheir contribution amounting to 3.2% of total products exported in 1997. The largestconcentration of textile mills are in La Paz, but also found in Santa Cruz andCochabamba and Oruro smaller scale. Outside the industry, but connected with it,is the manufacture of clothing except footwear, which has had impressive growth inrecent years, reaching more than twice the size in physical volume from the year1990.

PaperIndustry: The manufacture of paper and cardboard is a very small sector inBolivia, with a few small factories located in Santa Cruz, La Paz and Cochabamba.

All industries in this industry use recycled paper, waste fibers WE imported pulp asraw material. Related industries, manufacturing of paper, printing and printers, areconcentrated in La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba.

Food industry: This sector occupies a predominant place in the manufacturingindustry that is continually growing, both in production and in number of businessesand jobs. However, the food industry from the opening of the economy has enteredinto competition and grooms in the domestic market or foreign markets where itsshare in exports was about 26%, including soy and its derivatives reached a very

large export markets in recent years (excluding cotton). Within this group are theedible oil plants, sugar mills, distilleries, breweries and food yeast factory in LaPaz. There are several medium and large units in the sub-refrigerators, milkfactories, plants, soft drink bottlers and grain processing plants. Large factoriesprocessed soybean, sunflower and cotton seeds and sugar cane are mostly inSanta Cruz, although a large edible oil refinery operations in Cochabamba. Allmajor cities have at least one brewery, one or more soft drink bottling plants andone or more refrigerators and packing plants where the food and canned food.

FISHING

The Bolivian fisheries9

sector is not very high on the national economy becauseBolivia doesnt have sea, no fishing industry has a standard practice and isintended principally for minority, but has a large capacity such as the Amazonianrivers and mainly large lakes i.e. Titicaca, which are not fully exploited, and whichconcentrate a large number of species piscolas of great economic importance, asare the golden, pacu, catfish one of the largest freshwater fish in the world alongpaiche with this larger than the previous introduced from Peru who weighs over200 kg.

EXPORT

Bolivia's exports in 2008 totaled a record 6.836 million dollars, an additional $2043.72 million, a 42.64 percent over the previous year (2007), driven by highprices for its main products, hydrocarbons and minerals.

Oil and minerals accounted for nearly three quarters (72.4 percent) of the Boliviansales abroad in 2008.

The oil sector continued to rely almost exclusively on natural gas sales, which were2,851 million U.S. dollars to Brazil, the country's main trading partner plateau, and$ 281 million to Argentina.

Small sales were added to this spot of derivatives in a nationalized oil industrywhich exports totaled 3.433 million dollars.

The Bolivian mining industry, with total exports of 1.517 million dollars, had its mainmarket in South Korea, which bought zinc, silver and lead by 813 million dollars,jumping from seventh to second in the list of trading partners in Bolivia. After Braziland South Korea, the main buyers of Bolivian products in 2008 were, indescending order: United States, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Japan, Colombia,Switzerland and Belgium.

The five fastest growing activities are the production of metallic and nonmetallicminerals (63%), construction (9%), crude oil and natural gas (7%), financial (6%)and manufacturing (5%).

Bolivia's small economy and recorded its seventh consecutive year of growth inexports from a fall in 2001, when they reached 1.226 million U.S. dollars only.

The trade balance for 2008 recorded a surplus of U.S. $ 1.966 million, an amounthigher than the 28.60 percent recorded in 2007, which totaled 1.403 million.

Sales of the country to foreign markets amounted to just over 6.952 million dollars,an amount higher than the 2.092 million recorded in 2007, when totaled 4860million, and result in an increase of 43 percent.

While shopping in the country increased by 44.25 percent between 2007 and 2008,3457-4986000 dollars. This represents an increase of 1,529 million.

Bolivia's exports in 2006 grew by 43.88 percent over the previous year andreached a record value of $ 4.069 million and imports of 2.809 million dollars,according to the National Statistics Institute of Bolivia (INE).

The global growth compared to the figure for 2005, the year in Bolivia's salesabroad amounted to U.S. $ 2.868 million is explained by the increase in the miningsector in 126% of the hydrocarbons to 43.4 percent and manufacturing at 17.2percent. The oil and gas exports in 2006 amounted to a nationwide total of $ 2.059million, the manufacturing, 1,108 million, 792 million ore and livestock products andagricultural $ 159 million.

According to the official report, natural gas shipments to Brazil and Argentinaproduced revenue of $ 1.391 million and 280 million respectively during the 2006administration. The export of soya products to Venezuela generated $ 175 million,to Colombia, and Peru 114 million, 39 million.

Brazil remains the main destination of Bolivian exports worth U.S. $ 1.562 million,followed by Japan, 378 million, Argentina, 371 million, the United States, 355million, Peru, and Switzerland 232 000 000 210 000 000.

Economic blocs, the sale of goods from Bolivia into Mercosur stood at 2.158 milliondollars, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in $ 424 million andthe Andean Community (CAN) in 397 million.

TRADE FLOWS BY ECONOMIC ZONE

y With Mercosur, the surplus in 2006 (965 million) was almost double that

recorded in 2005 (477 million), mainly by higher exports of oil in Argentinaand Brazil.

y With the Andean Community trade surplus increased to $ 64 million, mainlydue to higher exports of oil, sugar and milk to Peru.With Chile's trade deficit increased by 44 million dollars, given the increasedimports of diesel oil and capital goods in this country.

y With the United States the surplus decreased slightly (16 million). However,

including an adjustment of leased aircraft by $ 36 million that the NationalInstitute of Statistics of Bolivia (INE) recorded as exports and the BCBadjusted for balance of payments, the surplus would actually decline by 52million dollars.

y With the European Union deficit declined from 60 million to $ 11 millionresulting from increased exports of minerals.

y In Switzerland, the surplus rose strongly (101 million to 198 million dollars)

on higher sales of gold, zinc and silver.

y In Asia the trade deficit was reduced from 98 million to four million dollars;explained by the improved trade balance with Japan (due to higher exportsof zinc and silver), despite higher imports of transport equipment from Japanand consumer products from China.

DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS

MINERALS

Minerals since 2003 we have a reference volume of 111.1 thousand tons of oreexported during the first half of this year, with a value of 187.4 million Dollars, nowtaking into account that this is our base year of our analysis, where he'll take ifexports rise or fall, even with those prices.

For the second half of 2003 we increased the quantity of exports of 47.57% with atotal of 164 million tons, but instead the value of exports was a drop of 2.95% bone

181.9 million dollars, now the net export this year is 257.83 million tons of metaland 367.2 million Dollars.

Now with the base year because we can now more easily describe the remainingyears.The first half of year 2004 is $ 144.2 million tons, representing an increase of29.7% compared to first half of 2003, and in value terms there was a smallerincrease of 22.9% giving a score of 230.5 million dollars. Now to the second halfthe volume of exports to fall compared to the first half but still has a 7.28% increasecompared to the base year to 20.3% giving a volume of 133.7 M $. In the year interms of volume alone there was an increase of 1.03% of total volume produced in

2004 compared to 2003, giving a volume of 278 tons. But the annual value storythere was an increase of 23.4% as opposed to 2003 which is the base year.The first half of 2005 has resulted in an increase in volume of 11.5% by mass to124 million tons and an increase in the value of 33% compared to 2003, 249.4million Dollars. For the second half there is an increase of 32.2% by volume andalso increase the value of 57.3%. For annual data may seem illogical in the volumeproduces a decrease in production of 1.6% compared to base year but a largeincrease in the value of 47.3%.

The first half of 2006 there is an increase of 42.9% in volume and 163.3% of thevalue of minerals, for the second half of the year is to further increase both thevolume of minerals 56.9% and 202.4% in value. For the year we have a 21.1%increase in volume but an increase in value of 187.1%.

For the first half of last year there was an increase of 40% by volume and valueincrease of 208.7%.

HYDROCARBONS

For the hydrocarbons using the same method for allocating the percentagechanges.The first half of 2003 is a feature that no volume, and that is obvious here as muchgas as oil falls, but when describing each in particular, We'll explain in due time, bythe time 2003 begins worth 64.5 million dollars in second half of the year is anincrease of 19.8% in the year we have a base value is 490.9 million Dollars.

For 2004, the first semester we have an export value increased 51.82% comparedto the first half of 2003, for the second half of 2004 have increased export value of102.47%, the annual data have increased 61.19% compared to 2003.For 2005, there is an increase of 161.58% in six months the value of exports in thefirst half and the second is another increase of 204.74%. In the year there is a totalincrease of 526.65% of the value of hydrocarbon exports.By 2006 half-yearly value of exports rose by 311.78% in the first quarter and388.47% in the second, giving an annual increase of 288.33% of the value of oilexports.For the first half of 2007 the increase in the value of exports is 102.89% comparedto the first half of 2003.

NONTRADITIONAL

For non-traditional exports like well take the other with 2003 as base, with theexport volume of 665.1 million tons at a value of 257.2 million dollars in the first halfof 2003. For the year we have 1.6077 billion tons and a value of 621.7 milliondollars.

For 2004 we have increased 36.8% increase in volume and an increase of 45% invalue, in what is considered the first half for the second half of the year we have a39.8% increase in the export volume and value increase another 61.5% in thevalue of exports of that semester. For comparison we have an annual increase of14.7% in volume and an increase of 26.8% of export value.For the year 2005 has a 16.8% increase in volume and an increase of 25.5% invalue for the second half is a smaller increase than in the first volume of 11.4% anda 5.95% increase in the value of exports in the second half of 2005. In the year, ithas reduced the value of 5.54% in the quantity exported and a reduction of 55.9%in export value.

In 2006 there is an increase in export volume of 4.02% in volume and valueincreased 27.49% for the second semester has a 31.33% increase in volume and awidening of the value of 70.78%. To have an annual decrease of 2.63% body andan extension of the amount of 23.42%.

To end the first half of 2007, has a volume expansion of 9.48% and a decline in thevalue of 39.33%.

Now for our analysis WE will take the most important pillars for that WE will startwith minerals like tin, lead and zinc. As for the oil to take the two most important,
