View full history →About the Bolivia gold market
Gold has become Bolivia's single largest export product, but the country adds little domestic value to it — the vast majority is shipped out as unwrought (unrefined) gold rather than as finished bars or jewellery.

Bolivia's mining sector has driven a sharp rise in gold exports, with non-monetary gold exports roughly tripling year-on-year in the first half of 2026, alongside a 25% corporate income tax on mining companies plus a further 25% surtax on extraordinary mining profits.

Bolivia's gold market is shaped more by its role as a major exporter than by a large domestic retail jewellery trade -- confirm purity and weight carefully on any retail purchase, since KmalServico's live reference reflects the international benchmark rather than a domestic retail quote.
Read the full section on the live price page →Tax & duty notes
Bolivia applies a 13% IVA (VAT) to most goods and services, included in the sale price rather than added on top, giving an effective rate of roughly 14.9% on the pre-tax base.

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from gold-api.com + xaus.com, with automatic failover between providers.
- The spot rate is converted into the local currency using live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com, then scaled by purity (24K, 22K, 18K…) and by weight (gram, tola, ounce, kilogram, baht).
- The result is the pure spot value. Retail counters may add dealer premium, tax and making charges — the number here is the underlying benchmark.
