Legislature Returns Investment Law to Executive Over Blank Page

The Plurinational Legislative Assembly sent the 103-article Investment Law project — submitted by the Paz government on Aug 11 to attract domestic and foreign capital via a new National Investment Agency and stricter rules on expropriation — back to the Executive, citing a technical-administrative defect: page 44 of the submitted document was completely blank with no explanation. The Assembly's leadership stressed the observation concerned only the paperwork, not the bill's content, and asked the government to resubmit the missing text as soon as possible.
