Bolivian state firms owe Bs 7.4M to central bank, 21% of strategic portfolio

Three Bolivian state-owned companies (YLB, Easba, EBIH) owe Bs 7.441 million to the central bank (BCB), representing 21% of the outstanding portfolio of five strategic firms. This signals rising fiscal strain and potential credit risk in Bolivia's public sector, though the absolute amount is small relative to GDP. The development underscores deteriorating state finances and may pressure the boliviano and sovereign risk perceptions.
