The new challenges of Colombian international trade and its transformation worldwide Los nuevos retos del comercio internacional colombiano y su transformación a nivel mundial

Abstract

Our country decided to internationalize its economy, carrying out a continuous process of globalization based on foreign trade and the increase in both Colombian imports and exports. This was defined from the beginning as the ideal point within the country's development, and thus over time, approximately 9 free trade agreements were negotiated that somehow make it easier for other countries to access national merchandise. However, it should be noted that there have always been problems in terms of the supply chain and how it is implemented from small companies to macro-companies, since it has not been argued that the basis of this problem is the increasing lack of productivity and competitiveness of the Colombian economy, this because there is a lack of reforms and laws that allow greatly reducing costs within the country, which is aggravated at the time of the absence of a policy that consistently protects foreign trade.
