In La Paz, Governor Luis Revilla proposed a regulation to freeze salary increases for high-ranking departmental authorities. This proposal aims to redirect a planned 15% salary increase toward technical and professional staff starting in January 2027, addressing the need to attract and retain talent by improving wages for specialized personnel.

On a national level, the Bolivian government announced plans to initiate negotiations for wage increases in 2027. Vice Minister of the Treasury and Public Credit Óscar Navarro stated the goal is to help workers maintain purchasing power following the economic impact of rising fuel costs and the removal of diesel subsidies. These negotiations are expected to involve the Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) and other sectors in response to rising living costs and inflation.
