Bolivia: Empresa Publica Productiva Cementos de Bolivia (ECEBOL) has officially restarted cement production at its integrated Oruro cement plant in Caracollo. The La Razón newspaper has reported the cost of the restart at US$8.41m. The producer received a cash injection from the government in order to enable it to restock cement bags, pay outstanding salaries and have working capital, according to Bolivian President Luis Arce. The head of state alleges that the previous administration ‘paralysed’ many of the country’s public companies through mismanagement.
