One of the so -called national government in recent months is to drive a plan to reactivate the economy through an articulated work of the various productive engines, both in the public and private sector, in order to recover the dynamism in the growth that is needed so much.
However, this clamor has not been taken into account and proof of this are the figures of the monitoring index to the economy that have been known in recent months since the DANE, in which a divergent growth is observed and that important lines such as Industry and construction are not having a good time.

This is why there are more and more voices that add to the debate, such as that of the Attorney General, Gregorio Eljach, who said he was worried about this economic landscape and called for that a business consensus is generated between the public and private sector as soon as possible.
“I think we should all work to return to their entrepreneurs that preponderant role that they have historically had in the growth of the economy here in Colombia, as well as in the rest of the world. The high commitments of the debt service in 2025 force to significantly reduce investment and operating expenses in the public sector, ”he said.

During the Colombia forum, the head of the Public Ministry brought up Data observed that between 2024 and 2025 the debt service will go from $ 94.5 billion to $ 112.6 billion and the investment will fall from $ 99.8 billion to $ 82.4 billion, which will force the Government to Respond for the huge debt service and require help from private.
“Under ideal conditions, it is desirable that the investment is greater than the debt service, but this panorama will make it significantly worsened in 2025 when a greater difference between the debt service and public investment will be presented. Because entrepreneurs generate employment, pay taxes, create wealth, are those that have the capacity and courage to risk in procurement of prosperity, ”he said.

It should be remembered that the data of the monitoring index to the November economy fell like a cold water bucket in the local market, given, that based on the results of October, the optimism of the analysts was high and the projections pointed very close to the 2%, who not only failed to comply, but were far away and renounced the alerts for the consolidated growth of 2024.
There is also a truth that had been mentioned in the various revisions to the economy: the growth rate is slowing down and it is necessary to implement a reactivation plan that focuses mainly on industry and construction, but that also promotes the good step that trade brings since the beginning of the third quarter.
