Bloomberg Línea reports that Bolivia's country risk spread has jumped past 605 basis points amid roadblocks and social conflict. Jonathan Fortun of the IIF said Bolivia's spreads once exceeded 2,300 basis points before compressing to about 325, and that the recent rebound shows the improvement is conditional, fragile and reversible. He argued the next battle will probably be the design and political approval of the IMF program, and that Bolivia now must prove it can implement reforms.
