Bolivia| Business Indicators |  |
With an overall score of 5.58/12, Bolivia is below standard on the economic, legal, and political indicators that make up our Business Index. Bolivia is a market-based economy. In 2003, government consumption equaled 16.6 percent of GDP and, in 2004, 1.29 percent of government revenues came from state-owned enterprises and government ownership of property. However, an increasing number of sectors are becoming dominated by state-owned enterprises. Bolivia theoretically encourages foreign investment and, technically, the law does not discriminate against foreign investors, but they are often subject to arbitrary regulatory decisions, unfavorable interpretations of the law and a corrupt judicial system. Property rights are enforceable in court, but the lengthy legal process is subject to corruption. Political instability is a result of social unrest and leads to frequent changes in administration. Corruption is extensive, which is reflected in Bolivia's ranking of 105th out of 163 countries in Transparency International's 2006 Corruption Perceptions Index.
