On Tuesday, the Bolivian Minister of Planning said that the country's economy is evidencing a moment of growth and stability in prices.

Sergio Cusicanqui, Bolivian Minister of Planning, said that his country is experiencing growth in the economic sector with stability in prices and a reduction in unemployment. According to the official, this results from a series of measures implemented by the government in the middle of this world crisis.

According to the Minister's statements, the measures are part of the so-called Community Productive Social-Economic Model (Mescp). Implementing these actions has allowed unemployment to decrease by 4.2 percent so far this year.

Preliminary data collected indicated that the unemployment rate in May 2022 was 7.4 percentage points lower than the 11.6 percent recorded in July 2020, during the administration of the de facto President Jeanine Añez.

"This scenario of growth and improvement of these indicators contrasts, moreover, with the situation experienced by other countries in Latin America and the world," said  Cusicanqui.
