Story summary

Bolivia's Congress approved a $1.9 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday, aimed at replenishing dwindling foreign reserves and stabilizing an economy hit by high inflation and weak growth. The deal still requires final approval from the IMF’s executive board before funds can be disbursed. President Rodrigo Paz announced an immediate end to diesel subsidies as part of meeting IMF demands for austerity measures. Unions have denounced these cuts, warning that they could lead to renewed protests amid the country's economic crisis following nearly two decades of socialist rule and now facing surging global oil prices.
