The recent celebration of the 14th The Bolivian Economic Development Conference, a renowned event that brings together national and international experts, was successfully held on November 9 and 10 at the Universidad Católica Boliviana. Organized jointly by the Bolivian Catholic University, the Bolivian Society of Economists, the INESAD Foundation and the Bolivian Academy of Economic Sciences. This annual conference has become a key venue for the analysis and discussion of current economic issues based on science and evidence..
The conference, which addressed a wide range of topics from learning to the environment, migration and technology, was notable for its ability to attract leading scholars and foster an enriching exchange of ideas.
The INESAD Foundation team, led by Beatriz Muriel in her role as Executive Director, played a central role in contributing with presentations and special sessions. Muriel was in charge of the presentation on “Inclusive growth and decent jobs by gender: the case of urban areas in Bolivia”, while Erika Soliz addressed “Multidimensional Poverty in WASH”. In addition, INESAD organized a special session to present the progress of the Green Jobs project on “Social Protection in Bolivia”, which was sponsored by the Canadian cooperation agency IDRC (International Development Research Centre). The session was attended by Beatriz Muriel, Alejandro Herrera and Ximena Coronado.
The conference counted with the outstanding participation of international speakers such as Claudio Ferraz, Allen Blackman and Monica Capra, who enriched the event with their research. At the ABCE-SEBOL special session, the presence of distinguished panelists such as Joaquín Vial, Luis Carlos Jemio, Juan Antonio Morales and Carlos Gustavo Machicado, with Beatriz Muriel assuming the role of Chair on the panel, contributed significantly to a better understanding of the exchange rate regime and macroeconomic fundamentals.
