Entre 2021 y junio se importaron combustibles por $us 9.080 millones

Bolivia faces a critical energy dependency crisis, as fuel imports have surged to unsustainable levels despite modest growth in the vehicle fleet. This disproportionate expenditure, driven by falling domestic production and higher global oil prices, severely strains national foreign reserves and contributes to ongoing foreign currency shortages. The nation’s reliance on imported fuels has become structurally unviable, threatening economic stability and supply security. With imports covering the vast majority of diesel and gasoline demand, the state bears escalating costs that divert resources from other essential public investments and exacerbate balance-of-payments pressures. This case highlights the urgent need for transparent, open data to monitor energy flows and policy effectiveness. Accessible statistics on production versus import dependencies are vital for fostering public debate and designing sustainable energy strategies that reduce vulnerability to international market shocks.
