With its market of + 11 millions of consumers, the
dynamic of development is steadily interesting in Bolivia, now the second
largest natural gas reserves in South America. The government held a binding referendum in 2005 on the Hydrocarbon
Law.
The US Geological Service estimates that Bolivia has
5.4 million cubic
tonnes of lithium, which represent 50%–70% of world reserves. Sustainable extraction of lithium is
attempted by the government.
Since 1985, the government of Bolivia has implemented a far-reaching program of
macroeconomic stabilization and structural reform aimed at maintaining price
stability, creating conditions for sustained growth, and alleviating scarcity. A major reform of the customs service
has significantly improved transparency in this area. Parallel legislative reforms have locked into place market-liberal
policies, especially in the hydrocarbon and telecommunication sectors, that
have encouraged private investment. Foreign
investors are accorded national treatment.
The income
from tourism has become increasingly important.
Boliviana de
Aviación (BoA) is a state-owned company and the country's
largest airline.
The three
largest, and main international airports in Bolivia are El Alto International
Airport in La Paz, Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz, and Jorge
Wilstermann International Airport in Cochabamba.
Bolivia owns
a communications satellite which was offshored/outsourced and launched by China named Túpac Katari 1. In 2015, it was announced that
electrical power advancements include a planned $300 million nuclear reactor
developed by the Russian nuclear company Rosatom.
