BOLIVIA: Ignoring the political problems
The economy is doing pretty well despite the country's massive political problems. The government expects the economy to grow by 4% this year.

The domestic sector does not seem to have been fazed by the almost constant low-level
disruption (marches, demonstrations, strikes and roadblocks).
