Editing Economy of Bolivia (section)

===Main indicators===
Bolivia's 2016 gross domestic product referred to PPP totaled $78.35&nbsp;billion and in the official exchange $35.69&nbsp;billion. Its standard of living, as measured in GDP in PPP per capita was US$7,191. Economic growth was about 5.2% a year and inflation was 4.5% in 2012. Bolivia experienced a [[budget surplus]] of about 1.5% of GDP in 2012. Expenditures were nearly US$12.2&nbsp;billion while revenues amounted to about US$12.6&nbsp;billion. The government runs surplus accounts since 2005.

The Bolivian currency is the boliviano (ISO 4217: BOB; symbol: Bs.) One boliviano is divided into 100 centavos. The boliviano replaced the [[Bolivian peso]] at a rate of one million to one in 1987 after many years of rampant inflation. At that time, 1 new boliviano was roughly equivalent to 1 U.S. dollar. At the end of 2011 the boliviano was only worth around 0.145 U.S. Dollar.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://es.exchange-rates.org/history/USD/BOB/G/90 |title=Exchange Rate Boliviano}}</ref> Annual interest rates in 2010 had decreased steadily to 9.9 percent<ref name="World Bank" /> from more than 50 percent before 1997.

Bolivia's [[human development index]] was reported at 0.675, comprising a health index of 0.740, an education index of 0.743 and a GNI index of 0.530, ranking within the group of medium human development. "Between 1980 and 2012 Bolivia (Plurinational State of)'s HDI rose by 1.3% annually from 0.489 to 0.675 today, which gives the country a rank of 108 out of 187 countries with comparable data. The HDI of Latin America and the Caribbean as a region increased from 0.574 in 1980 to 0.741 today, placing Bolivia (Plurinational State of) below the regional average."<ref name="UNDP">{{cite web|url=http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/hdr_2015_statistical_annex.pdf|title= Human Development Report 2015 – Human development statistical annex|publisher=[[Human Development Report|HDRO (Human Development Report Office)]] [[United Nations Development Programme]]|pages=127–130|access-date=20 October 2015}}</ref>
