LA PAZ, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The Bolivian economy grew
4.28% in the third-quarter of 2022 compared to the same period
in 2021, the Minister of Development Planning, Sergio
Cusicanqui, said on Thursday.
Cusicanqui told a news conference the quarterly figure
"ratifies the consolidation of the return of the Bolivian
economy to the path of economic growth."
Transportation and storage, agriculture, construction,
electricity, gas and water were among the main sectors boosting
the country's economic growth, he added.
Cusicanqui also said the country expects to have a
budget of $4 billion for 2023, adding that around 42% of that
budget would be used in the so-called "productive sector" which
stimulates the country's economy.
