Bolivia's Mid-Year Inflation Doubles Government's Annual Projection

La Paz, Bolivia – Bolivia's accumulated inflation for the first six months of 2025 has reached 15.53%, significantly surpassing the government's annual projection. According to a report released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), the inflation rate from January to June has more than doubled the 7.5% target set by the national government for the entire year in its General State Budget. Furthermore, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June alone registered a positive monthly variation of 5.21%. This figure marks the highest monthly inflation level recorded, indicating a rapid increase in the cost of living within a single month. The substantial difference between the actual accumulated inflation and the government's projections raises concerns about the economic outlook and the effectiveness of current fiscal policies. The INE's data underscores a challenging economic environment for the country, with prices rising at a much faster pace than anticipated.
