Fernando's Economy/Current Events
The economy of Bolivia has had a historic pattern of a single-commodity focus. Politically, instability and difficult problems have had some efforts to improve the agricultural section. Rampant inflation and corruption also have stopped the development. The mining industry, especially the extraction of natural gas and zinc, currently dominates Bolivia’s export economy. Most of the current events in Bolivia are accidents that happened, but some is even about the economy, for example, The U.N.'S expert panel on climate change on Sunday said the disconnect between international goals to fight global warming and what is being done to attain them. Another event is that there was a huge deadly earthquake strikes off Chile's coast. The shock waves were felt hundreds of miles away shaking buildings as far away as Bolivia.
