The indicator’s lowest point occurred in 2008, when domestic credit fell to 48.36, reflecting the regional credit contraction that followed the global financial crisis. Since then, credit expansion has been robust, narrowing the gap with regional peers; Panama recorded 77.03 and Costa Rica 78.54 in the same period, indicating that Bolivia now operates at a level comparable to other middle‑income economies in Latin America. The sustained upward trajectory suggests that continued financial deepening, supported by reforms in banking regulation and greater inclusion of informal enterprises, could keep domestic credit on an expanding path, provided macro‑economic stability is maintained and external shocks are limited.
