Macroeconomic Forecast Bolivia

BMI View: Bolivia's consumer price inflation (CPI) increased to 2.1% year-on-year (y-o-y) in July from 1.3% y-o-y in June, a 0.6% month-on-month rise, according to the latest data from Banco Central De Bolivia. July's figure marked the fastest period of price growth since May 2009.
