The cost of pension reforms has been perhaps the biggest error committed in the process of modernizing Bolivia's economy.
But clearly an economy that's growing and expanding like this one - and it certainly is doing that with high GDP output, employment numbers strong, capacity utilization strong - that's an environment in which the Fed needs to continually be alert to early signs of inflation.
