If he does not stand, we still expect that a centre-right candidate will win, providing general policy continuity. The impact of the economic slowdown on revenue and spending pressures will contribute to a deterioration of the NFPS results, from a virtual balance in 2008 to deficits of 3% of GDP in 2009, 3. 0a56e0bfbe844d618647b453394d587cWed, 04 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/country_report_colombia_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 Although time is running short, we still expect Mr Uribe to be able to stand for and win re-election in 2010.

However, on both the political and economic front we do see risks to this benign picture, ranging from what looks increasingly like a second constitutional amendment to allow President ??lvaro Uribe a third consecutive term in office, to a rapidly deteriorating public debt profile. In short, while Colombia's investment climate remains one of the most attractive in the region, key policy decisions over the next few quarters could well determine the country's political and economic outlook in years ahead. 4ac8a376974a55ae58795ca8b0469a8dWed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/colombia_defence_security_report_q4_2009.htmlAlthough Colombia's security has improved with the decline of the the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), the security outlook remains cloudy. Relations with Venezuela are a particular source of concern. On July 28 Venezuela's President Hugo Ch??vez recalled his ambassador and froze diplomatic relations with Colombia to protest the claim by Bogota that anti-tank launchers seized from the FARC guerilla camp came from Venezuela. e143bb2ae413afbc2bde3341d3044ff3Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/country_report_colombia_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Although time is running short, we still expect Alvaro Uribe to be able to stand for and win re-election in 2010. If he does not stand, we still expect that a centre-right candidate will win, providing policy continuity. The impact of the economic slowdown on revenue and spending pressures will contribute to a deterioration of the NFPS results, from a virtual balance in 2008 to a deficit of 3% of GDP in 2009, widening to 3. 9bcd55d15a4abd0470337cfaa399ed5bTue, 08 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/country_report_colombia_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 488d4cb0b4ec2f17d7bc34f9cb223c74Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/colombia_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlWe now believe President ??lvaro Uribe will run for his third consecutive term in 2010, which, while raising longer-term constitutional concerns, is good news for economic and security policy continuity. This in turn should help Colombia outperform many of its regional peers in our economic and political ratings over the duration of our forecast period. That said, we are becoming increasingly concerned about Colombia's longer-term economic growth potential, with the lack of export diversification and growing pressures on the consumer threatening to hamper strong levels of growth once global conditions improve. 341e1b6289b07e582b22363d8b6ee6f6Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/colombia_defence_security_report_q3_2009.htmlAs mentioned in our previous report, the security situation in Colombia has improved with the decline in fortunes of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). Political impetus for a continued decline in FARC power comes from President ??lvaro Uribe who is close to achieving his goal of seeking a third term in office next year. The Senate has passed a bill that paves the way for a referendum on his being allowed to stand. 3906ee750dd8ef668d83c42bc1b1d62cTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/country_report_colombia_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Regardless of whether Mr Uribe is able to stand for re-election, we expect that a centre-right candidate will win the May 2010 presidential election, providing policy continuity, although the downturn could make for a close contest. Fiscal and current-account deficits leave Colombia's economy exposed to the global economic downturn, but a US$10. 5bn precautionary IMF credit line and a sound policy framework are supportive. 7ada3685ea9316ff6848887be6d8f463Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/country_report_colombia_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Regardless of whether Mr Uribe is able to stand for re-election, we expect that a centre-right candidate will win the May 2010 presidential election, providing policy continuity, although the downturn could make for a close contest.

With talk of further changes to senior military personnel in the pipeline, we believe Uribe is now keen to show his concern over human rights abuses, particularly given that US President Barack Obama has been a major critic of Colombia's human rights record under Uribe's tenure. Colombia's short- and long-term political risk ratings remain at 70. 0d049fa5017adccc17b4d811f86f70cfTue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/colombia_infrastructure_report_2009.htmlColombia's government has announced a massive infrastructure investment programme for 2009, which should held drive the construction sector forward in the coming years, and shelter it from some of the worst effects of the global economic downturn. However, much of the investment relies on private capital, which could be difficult to come by in today's tightened financial climate. Despite this, BMI forecasts that the construction industry value will reach US$19. 9e5ce386a69e2f2bb8798809003bfe6bTue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/country_report_colombia_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Mr Uribe's high popularity will be eroded by the downturn and we no longer expect him to stand for a third term in May 2010.

We assume a centre-right candidate will win, providing continuity. Policymaking will become much more challenging in the remainder of 2008-10, as fiscal and current-account deficits leave Colombia exposed to global financial and economic woes. a4c193dffdee65467f4ee93f97ad2d7bFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/colombia/colombia_business_forecast_report_q2_2008.htmlDomestic Demand Buoyant Despite a deterioration in the external environment, Colombia's economic performance continues to impress; with 2007 GDP growth in the region of 6. 4%, only a slight moderation from 2006's 6. 8%, as consumer demand remains buoyant. a4bcb70f90e010e1c603f79c7f8527f9Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Colombia
