What the numbers say
In 2024, Bolivia's gross fixed capital formation (constant 2015 US$) fell 10.9% on 2023 (from US$6.82 billion to US$6.08 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +5.2% and a typical year strayed about 14.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 58.6% in 1962 and the biggest yearly fall was 40.2% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 23% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Gross fixed capital formation includes acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets during the accounting period, including certain specified expenditures on services that add to the value of non-produced assets. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment is 2015. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
