🇧🇴 Bolivia
All information, articles and links related to this country.
Capital: La Paz
Bolivia (ISO code: BO) is located in Central South America and borders Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. The country is a presidential republic with a federal structure and stable, yet politically heterogeneous institutions. The climate varies significantly by region: tropical humid in the lowlands, semi-arid in the high plains, and cold alpine in the Andes. Economically, Bolivia relies on raw materials such as natural gas, minerals, and agricultural products, while industrial processing is limited. The country is dependent on imports for industrial products, machinery, fuels, and consumer goods. Due to its inland position and limited port access, Bolivia plays a limited transit role, with access through ports in Chile and Peru. Foreign trade is heavily concentrated on energy exports and minerals, while imports meet domestic needs. The national currency is the Boliviano (BOB), which supports stable trade and payment processes. Logistically, the inland status requires an efficient road and railway network to connect to international markets.
