Did the IMF approve a $1.9 billion loan for Bolivia in October 2026?

Yes. On October 2, 2026, the International Monetary Fund Executive Board approved a 36-month Extended Fund Facility arrangement for Bolivia worth about US$1.9 billion (SDR 1.369 billion, or 570 percent of Bolivia’s quota).

The approval allowed an immediate disbursement of about US$214 million, with later disbursements phased over the program and contingent on completed reviews. The program aims to restore macroeconomic stability, rebuild international reserves, strengthen social safety nets, and phase out remaining fuel subsidies while protecting vulnerable households.
