Interesante. I didn't know that Bolivia was not part of Latin America. On my map it is included. On your statistical and economical reports it is omitted. So much for hermanidad. I was going to advertise in your magazine as an exporter to Home Depot of ceramic tile from Bolivia; but I can see that you haven't a basic knowledge of geography; thus probably less about business.

Editor's note: LATIN TRADE provides a basic economic indicators and a consensus forecast of the eight major economies of the region based on the estimates of the major banks covering Latin America. In order to be timely, we report on large economies which report information soon enough to be relevant; also, the banks do not track economies as small as that of Bolivia, thus there is no consensus to report. The magazine does, however, provide data from Bolivia on consumer prices, interest rates, exchange rates, imports and exports and international reserves, as well as our regular political and economic coverage. Also, LATIN TRADE does not generally run advertising disguised as a letter but makes an exception here to accommodate others in Bolivia who might be offended.
