Bolivia’s incoming president, Rodrigo Paz, will seek a deal with the International Monetary Fund by March, according to a senior member of his economy team.
Before then, the new government will also try to secure $1.4 billion from multilateral lenders, economic adviser José Luis Lupo said in a phone interview.
The new administration will seek funding from lenders including CAF, FLAR, FONPLATA, the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank, Lupo said.
The CAF has already confirmed a $3.1 billion program for Bolivia over five years, of which 15% will be disbursed in the coming days, according to Lupo.
An IMF agreement will open access to funds from other lenders to finance social programs and state reforms, Lupo said.
