The National Statistical Institute (INE) reported on Wednesday afternoon that the cumulative growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the second quarter of 2019 was 3.13%, which in addition to 4% of the first quarter and the last half of 2018, is not enough to pay the second Christmas bonus.

The President of the National Chamber of Commerce Rolando Kempff warned that there is a loss of $1.1 billion in the GDP due to social conflicts and civic strikes in the country. He called for peace and the end of clashes between Bolivians.
