About the Book

Accumulated inflation for 2011 was 6.9%, with a peak year-on-year inflation rate in June 2011 of 11.3%. The drop is due to lower inflationary pressure on food prices, which reached a high of 17.5% in June 2011, falling to 8% at the end of the year. Non-food items registered an overall decrease from 7.7% in June to 6.1% in December. Total investment in Bolivia in 2011 reached 23% of GDP, up from 17% in 2010. Public investment has risen from 9.2% of GDP in 2010 to 11.4% of GDP in 2011 ($1.8 billion to $2.8 billion), due mostly to road construction and increases in investment of state-run companies. Private investment (both domestic and FDI) increased from 7.8% of GDP in 2010 to 11.6% ($1.5 billion to $2.9 billion) of GDP in 2011, due to investments in hydrocarbons, construction, and mining. Exports rose by more than 30% between 2010 and 2011, reaching $9.1 billion. In 2011 Bolivia's top exports were: hydrocarbons (45% of total exports), minerals (27%), manufactured goods (24%), and agricultural products (4%). More specifically, top export products were: natural gas (42% of total exports), silver (12%), zinc (10%), soy (7%), tin (4%), and lead (3%).
