The Call: What Choices Will Shape Colombia in 2025 and Beyond?

Colombia stands at a critical economic juncture. Amid political uncertainty, shifting trade relations, security concerns, and an ambitious energy transition, credit rating agencies are watching Colombia's fiscal health. A dispute with the U.S. over migrants and tariffs was resolved quickly but focused attention on the bilateral relationship.
Bogota’s policies on fossil fuel dependency, taxation, and investment are shaping the nation’s trajectory, while global factors-ranging from a strong U.S. dollar to geopolitical shifts-add further complexity.
For this timely discussion, The U.S. Chamber Global Intelligence Desk is excited to host Juan Daniel Oviedo, an economist and former Director of Colombia’s National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE). As a leading voice on economic policy and regulatory frameworks, Oviedo shares insights on how Colombia can navigate this moment and seize opportunities for growth.
