Superintendente financiero pide aumentar productividad e inversión

César Ferrari, superintendente financiero de Colombia, intervino en el foro LR Economía verde más sostenible más rentable para señalar la necesidad de cambiar el modelo de crecimiento económico del país.

Ferrari afirmó que para crecer a tasas más altas se necesita aumentar la productividad y la tasa de inversión. Mostró que el ahorro nacional cayó de 18,6% del PIB en 2005 a 6,4% en 2025.

El superintendente señaló que el indicador de ahorro ha sido inestable y ha perdido peso en la formación bruta de capital. Con un ICOR actual de 8,7, se requeriría invertir cerca de 80% del PIB para lograr un crecimiento de 10%.

Ferrari propuso realizar inversiones sostenibles a través de una banca responsable. Recomendó al sector privado integrar criterios de naturaleza y biodiversidad en los análisis de riesgo para proyectos.
