The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) will finance relevant projects in Bolivia with up $3.1 Billion, an investment focused on economic recovery and regional integration of the South American country.
CAF has already committed this notable financial support, in addition to a $550 million loan to strengthen liquidity and economic management.
According to Bolivia TV, the CAF’s President, Sergio Díaz Granados, arrived in Bolivia to consolidate financing agreements for education, health, road infrastructure and productive development and during his visit he hold meetings with national authorities, including a meeting with President Rodrigo Paz Pereira.
CAF’s President will also travel to Tarija, also known as San Bernardo de la Frontera de Tarixa, a city in southern Bolivia, to sign agreements that will benefit the municipality, the department and the country in general.
One of the main goals of this initiative is to guarantee the execution of existing projects, activate new works and allocate additional resources for the conservation and rehabilitation of roads, throughout the country, improving Bolivia’s connectivity.
Key Details of the Funding Initiative:
· Total Commitment: Up to $3.1 billion to be deployed over five years.
· Objectives: The funds are aimed at macroeconomic stabilization, national/regional integration, social welfare, and environmental sustainability.
· Initial Action: A $550 million loan was already approved by the CAF in late 2025 according to MercoPress.
· Implementation: The funding supports the “Country Strategy” designed to assist Bolivia in overcoming its current economic crisis and improving productivity.

According to the Deputy Minister of Legislative Coordination of Bolivia, Wilson Santamaría the resources will be channeled to priority programs and must be sent to the Legislative Assembly before becoming concrete projects.
