Mining

Mining remains an important sector in the Bolivian economy. Mining companies require a keen understanding of the country’s market and regulatory framework to extract maximum value from investments in Bolivia. Increasing regulatory obligations, domestic and international reporting requirements, tax compliance, resource nationalism, and sustainable development are just some factors that mining companies are required to navigate in Bolivia.
