		In Bolivia, 4.3 million people (out of a population of 7.2 million) depend for their livelihood on the informal sector of the economy.
		Most are excluded from the mainstream banking system because of its high minimum deposit limits and literacy requirements, with the result that they are obliged to borrow from street money-lenders at extortionate rates, and to store their savings in livestock, inventory, or under the mattress.
		Bolivia's commitment to an open economy, including the freeing of foreign exchange controls, has been essential in giving foreign investors (including the NGOs which invested in BancoSol) the confidence to move capital into the country, and enables BancoSol to lend and borrow freely in US dollars, considerably reducing the problems of dealing with domestic inflation.
