| Summary: | Bolivia's Third Review Under the Stand-By Arrangement and Request for Waiver of Nonobservance of Performance Criteria are discussed.

Spending exceeded program targets by 0.7 percent of GDP, mostly owing to higher capital expenditure by municipalities, reflecting in part efforts to reduce social tensions. The authorities have allowed interest rates to increase in response to liquidity conditions and have been able to start placing a moderate amount of bonds. |
