Bolivia's new president offered assurances on November
12th that his country would "work with austerity'' to reverse
its economic slide and expects the efforts will work.
"You cannot be president of Bolivia if you are not an
optimist,'' he said.
President Gonzalo Sanchez de
Lozada met with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick and
President Bush. At the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund he told officials that Bolivia has
become stable enough politically to begin serious economic
overhauls. "We have to resolve the |
|
|
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
economy issues,'' Sanchez de Lozada said. "I
think that that is going to be a difficult task, but if we
work with austerity and the financial institutions' support,
we will succeed.''
Sanchez de Lozada spoke at
Georgetown University of the rigors of trying to govern a
country suffering from a four-year recession and endemic
corruption.
"This not the best time to be president of
Bolivia,'' he said, "but I'm an optimist. You cannot be
president of Bolivia if you are not an optimist.''

His main challenges, he said, are to fight effects of
the recession by creating jobs and fighting corruption and
inequities within the society.
A U.S.-educated mining
executive, Sanchez de Lozada, 72, served as president
previously, from 1993 to 1997, and hopes to begin five major
public works projects, including construction of public
housing and a cross-country highway to create jobs.
