What the numbers say
In 2025, Bolivia's personal transfers, receipts (current US$, BoP) fell 1.9% on 2024 (from US$1.25 billion to US$1.23 billion).

This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3,142.9% in 1997 and the biggest yearly fall was 70% in 1991. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
