Finanzaufsichtsbehörde fordert höhere Produktivität und Investitionen

César Ferrari, der kolumbianische Finanzaufsichtsbeamte, sprach auf dem Forum LR Economía verde más sostenible más rentable über die Notwendigkeit, das wirtschaftliche Wachstumsmodell des Landes zu verändern.

Ferrari erklärte, dass zur Erzielung höherer Wachstumsraten die Produktivität und die Investitionsquote gesteigert werden müssen. Er wies darauf hin, dass die nationale Sparquote von 18,6 % des BIP im Jahr 2005 auf 6,4 % im Jahr 2025 gesunken ist. Der Aufsichtsbeamte stellte fest, dass der Sparindikator instabil ist und an Bedeutung bei der Bruttoinvestitionsbildung verloren hat. Bei einem aktuellen ICOR-Wert von 8,7 müssten etwa 80 % des BIP investiert werden, um ein Wachstum von 10 % zu erreichen. Ferrari schlug vor, nachhaltige Investitionen durch verantwortungsbewusstes Bankwesen zu fördern. Er empfahl dem Privatsektor, Kriterien für Natur und Biodiversität in die Risikoanalysen für Projekte zu integrieren.
