Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz said his six-month-old government is in talks with the IMF for a loan program, as weeks of nationwide street protests and blockades add to the country’s economic woes.
“We will soon have the support of the International Monetary Fund,” he said Monday during a press conference. “We have made progress, but not on the assumption that they will impose a plan on us since we have already set our own plan in motion.”
