YPFB

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Argentine petrol company, see YPF

Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) is the state-owned petrol company of Bolivia.

YPFB was originally created in the 1930s. During the presidency of Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, YPFB was privatized along with numerous other state-run businesses. Since the election of leftist president 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.
