Competitiveness and confidence: Keys to Colombia's sustainable growth.

Abstract

This article analyzes competitiveness in Colombia, highlighting the opportunities and challenges the country faces in the context of structural reforms in education, healthcare, pensions, and employment. It highlights the importance of trust as a determining factor for economic growth and the development of a more productive society. Currently, low levels of trust in institutions and the quality of public services have generated a disconnect between the government and citizens. This situation has led to an environment of dissatisfaction and demotivation, affecting citizens' active participation in the country's development and limiting the promotion of entrepreneurship as an engine of growth.
The article proposes strengthening the relationship between the State and society by promoting policies that foster transparency and efficiency in public management, and the generation of opportunities that allow citizens to realize their potential and contribute to Colombia's sustainable economic development.
