The Bolivian exchange rate is tied to the value of the Dollar. To curtail currency exchange fluctuations that made it difficult to calculate the value of the boliviano and to exchange Bolivian Money, the Bolivian government has taken steps to slow inflation and increases in the value of the dollar. In fact, as Dollar value increases in other countries, it's value is slowly decreasing against the Bolivian currency, as the government maintains it artificially low.

The economy in Bolivia is not always stable as it depends on political and social stability as well. Therefore, the value of Bolivia currency, the “boliviano” (BOB), increases and decreases as the U.S. Dollar and the Euro fluctuate in value.

This means that the Bolivian exchange rate changes from day to day and must be published on the covers of Bolivian newspapers so the population can know how much their money is worth from one day to the next. The economy suffers as a result of its strong dependence upon the value of the Dollar, and the currencies of other countries Bolivia trades with.
