Bolivia has become the latest country in South America to regularly use alternative currencies in cross-border trade, instead of the US dollar, in a growing challenge to the dominance of the currency for international financial transactions in the region.
Bolivian Economy Minister Marcelo Montenegro said on Thursday that the nation conducted financial operations amounting to 278 million Chinese yuan ($38.7 million) between May and July of the current year. That accounts for 10% of its foreign trade during that period.

玻利维亚已成为南美洲最新一个定期在跨境贸易中使用替代货币的国家,而不是美元,这对该地区国际金融交易货币的主导地位构成了日益增长的挑战。
玻利维亚经济部长马塞洛·蒙特内格罗在本年度5月至7月期间表示,该国进行的金融交易金额为2.78亿人民币(约3870万美元),占该期间对外贸易的10%。

“Banana, zinc, and wood manufacturing exporters are conducting transactions in yuan, as well as importers of vehicles and capital goods,” Montenegro said during a press conference in La Paz, adding that the share of alternative currencies is expected to increase over time.
Importers and exporters have been able to trade in yuan since February, and the Russian ruble since March via Banco unx, a Bolivian state-owned lender, bank officials said, as cited by Reuters.

“香蕉、锌和木材制造出口商以及车辆和资本商品进口商都在使用人民币进行交易,而且替代货币的份额预计会随着时间增加。”蒙特内格罗在拉巴斯举行的新闻发布会上表示。
据路透社援引的银行官员称,自今年2月起,进口商和出口商就可以通过玻利维亚国有的联合银行进行人民币交易,而自3月起也可以使用俄罗斯卢布进行交易。

The transactions between Banco unx and Russia’s Gazprombank facilitate “the work of Russian companies in the market” in spite of economic penalties imposed on Moscow by the West since 2022, according to Russian Ambassador to Bolivia Mikhail Ledenev, as quoted by the agency.
Bolivia has followed other states in the region, most notably Brazil and Argentina, which have recently turned to alternative currencies in their foreign trade. Bolivia has experienced severe dollar shortages, partially triggered by a drop in the production of natural gas, which is a key export item for the country. The shortages have had a significant impact on the nation’s economy since February.

据俄罗斯驻玻利维亚大使米哈伊尔·列杰涅夫引述的消息,玻利维亚联合银行与俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司银行(Gazprombank)之间的交易有助于“俄罗斯企业在该市场的运作”,尽管自2022年以来西方国家对莫斯科实施了经济制裁。
玻利维亚紧随该地区的其他国家,尤其是巴西和阿根廷,最近开始在外贸中使用替代货币。玻利维亚一直面临严重的美元短缺问题,部分原因是天然气产量下降,而天然气是该国的重要出口商品。自今年2月以来,这种短缺对玻利维亚经济产生了重大影响。
