Bolivia seems to be heading towards an imminent currency crisis caused by its fixed nominal exchange rate. A team of local PEP researchers found that a policy to devalue the exchange rate while reducing government expenditures could help boost growth and employment in Bolivia. Short-term inflation is an inevitable result of devaluation but inflation rates increase the least when devaluation is accompanied by a fiscal adjustment.
