Abstract
The Bolivian economy is gradually
recovering from the pandemic-induced recession. La Paz
Municipality primary balance has fluctuated near balance as
this municipality managed to cushion the decline in
hydrocarbon revenues and the pandemic. The DeMPA assessment
for the Autonomous Municipal Government of La Paz (Gobierno
Autónomo Municipal de La Paz) – GAMLP was undertaken by
applying the 2016 methodology available for local
governments at the time of the mission. The Subnational
DeMPA (SN DeMPA) is a methodology for assessing public debt
management performance through a comprehensive set of
indicators spanning the full range of government debt
management functions. This report is divided in 4 sections.
Section 2 briefly describes the economic background of the
country, and more specifically of the Municipality of La Paz
(including challenges and changes brought by COVID-19
pandemics) and presents an overview of the local government
debt portfolio. Section 3 summarizes the applied methodology
for the assessment and discloses assigned scores for each of
the 13 Debt Performance Indicators and the 31
sub-indicators. Finally, section 4 provides details for each
assessed sub-indicators, pointing for the requirements that
are met for the assigned score, and what is missing for the
GAMLP achieving improved scores in a future assessment.
