Uncertainty is a word that may well describe the world today. The “global town” increasingly shares the benefits, but also the risks, of an interconnected reality and Colombia is no exception.

A trading and market-based economy, Colombia stands, together with Peru, Chile and Mexico, as a non-ideological bloc, the Pacific Alliance, aimed at raising the living standards of their populations and boosting exchange of investments, ideas and people.
Also, aiming at exchanging a 50-year violent conflict for a battle of ideas in political scenarios, the Government of Colombia negotiated a peace agreement with the FARC, which was, however, voted against by a slim majority on a plebiscite on October 2nd. Modifications proposed by the leaders of the “NO” side are now being negotiated by the government in the hopes of reaching a better agreement. Actually, a new version of the agreement was announced on Saturday, November 12th, 2016.
