Understand the numbers
What Bolivia's economic profile is telling you
Bolivia's latest World Bank profile shows a contraction in real output in 2025 alongside a sharp rise in consumer-price inflation. Services form the largest selected sector share, while agriculture remains material.
Bolivia's merchandise exports are concentrated in natural gas, minerals and agricultural products. Brazil was the largest export destination in the 2024 WTO profile, and the goods balance was slightly negative.
The main economic signal
Bolivia should be read through the combination of output growth, price pressure, labor conditions, sector structure and trade rather than through GDP alone.
Why the definitions matter
Nominal GDP, real growth, CPI inflation, unemployment, sector value added and merchandise trade measure different things. Their units, years and sources stay visible throughout the page.
