Bolivia's Ministry of Finance announced a nationwide replenishment of US dollar banknotes that will allow individuals and legal entities with US dollar accounts holding less than USD 1,000 as of 31 December 2025 to withdraw some or all of their funds in cash from 27 January. The measure is permanent rather than temporary, meaning eligible account holders can withdraw US dollars when they choose. The Central Bank of Bolivia will provide US dollar cash to all financial institutions, and the government framed the change as easing restrictions imposed under the previous administration to allow US dollar notes to circulate more freely; the rollout was launched at a Banco FIE branch in Potosí with President Rodrigo Paz Pereira and Economy Minister José Gabriel Espinoza Yáñez.
