- For the Argentine petrol company, see YPF
Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales de Bolivia (YPFB) is the state-owned petrol company of Bolivia.
YPFB was originally created in the 1930s. During the presidency of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, YPFB was privatized along with numerous other state-run businesses. Since the election of leftist Evo Morales, YPFB has been re-founded with the goal of using revenues from extraction of petroleum and natural gas to generate government funds and support social programs.
