Undoubtedly the challenges that 2022 will bring will be decisive for the country’s business environment as well as its political stability. Here are the six main challenges for Colombia in 2022.
In 2022, the United States will find that after a few initial signs of hope, the hemisphere to which it is intimately bound by ties of geography, commerce, and family is more dangerous, less democratic, less stable, less willing to cooperate, and more engaged than ever with its extra-regional rivals.
Colombia must leverage both international markets and geopolitics to complete its ambitious railway plan.
U.S. military role should combine traditional missions in the region with adaptations supporting transparency, rule-of-law, and strengthening partner nation institutions.
Don’t pay attention to the voter intention polls at this moment. Although left-wing candidate Gustavo Petro is currently leading the polls there’s significant space for movement in the political realm between now and the elections.
An energy crisis is brewing in Colombia, as in much of the world. Though the government and foreign investors have joined the renewable energy frenzy, they must act quickly to lead the country through an energy transition effort that outlives the current administration.
Si no hay un mayor dinamismo exportador en Colombia, la economía se frenará o incluso la política económica tendrá que frenarla.
There are over sixty—that’s right, 60—candidates competing to become Colombia’s president for the period from 2022 to 2026. Clearly not all of them are going to make it to the final ballot.
More than seven years after President of China Xi Jinping first announced the Belt and Road—the People’s Republic’s signature twenty-first century foreign policy agenda—the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden announced this week that the White House would send a delegation of officials to Latin America to scout opportunities for possible infrastructure development projects to counter those of China.
The world’s great powers have real and tangible impacts on Colombia. The next President of Colombia must engage in thoughtful, strategic planning to understand Colombia’s role in an increasingly tense geopolitical environment.
