The economy of Bolivia is the 100th largest economy in the
world in nominal terms and the 89th economy in terms of
purchasing power parity. It is clasisfied by the World Bank
to be a lower middle income country.[1] With an Human
Development Index of 0,663 it is ranked 108th (medium human
development).[6]
The Bolivian economy has had a historic pattern of a
single-commodity focus. From silver to tin to coca, Bolivia
has enjoyed only occasional periods of economic
diversification. Political instability and difficult
topography have constrained efforts to modernize the
agricultural sector. Similarly, relatively low population
growth coupled with low life expectancy and high incidence
of disease has kept the labor supply in flux and prevented
industries from flourishing. Rampant inflation and
corruption also have thwarted development, but the last
years the fundamentals of its economy showed an impressing
improvement leading the major credit rating agencies to an
upgrade of Bolivian economy in 2010.[7] The mining industry,
especially the extraction of natural gas and zinc, currently
dominates Bolivia’s export economy

Cayman Islands, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominica, British
Virgin Islands, Isle of Man, Cyprus, Mauritius, Singapore,
Hong Kong, and Cook Islands. These places are notoriously
called ' Tax havens of the World ' because they offer
significant tax benefits like no income taxes, no estate
taxes, no capital gains, excellent interest rates for
investments, direct access to stock markets. Switzerland is
the undisputed leader in offshore.
