Reuters analysis examines how Bolivia's President Rodrigo Paz is pushing market oriented reforms and a $1.9 billion IMF program while his coalition fractures. Jonathan Fortun of the IIF said the $1.9 billion does not fundamentally change Bolivia's solvency arithmetic. He argued the program would ease immediate financing pressures but not restore debt sustainability alone, and that the government must cut fuel subsidy costs, curb support for state firms and narrow the deficit.
