Accumulated inflation in Bolivia reaches 6.03% through October

Bolivia is experiencing a significant acceleration in cumulative inflation during 2026, marking the end of decades of price stability. This increase reflects a deep economic crisis stemming from the collapse of the hydrocarbon industry, foreign exchange shortages, and difficulties in importing fuels, which have severely eroded households’ purchasing power due to rising costs in transportation and basic food items. The price changes highlight the direct impact of the removal of energy subsidies and the scarcity of inputs, with notable increases in public transportation and basic basket products. Although some items showed price reductions, the overall trend is upward, consolidating as one of the most visible manifestations of the structural crisis the country has been facing for the past two years. This report is relevant to open data because the National Institute of Statistics (INE) serves as the official and public source for these macroeconomic indicators. The availability of these statistical data enables citizens, researchers, and civil society organizations to monitor the economic situation, demand transparency, and analyze the impact of public policies on the cost of living, ensuring access to essential information for government accountability.
