TLC con Estados Unidos impulsó exportaciones por US$186.051 millones

El Tratado de Libre Comercio entre Colombia y Estados Unidos cumple 14 años y ha facilitado exportaciones por US$186.051 millones desde 2012. La inversión estadounidense alcanzó US$41.753 millones en el mismo período.

María Claudia Lacouture, presidenta de la Cámara Colombo Americana, señaló que el acuerdo ha proporcionado reglas estables y acceso preferencial a los mercados. Las exportaciones de café crecieron 208 por ciento hasta US$2.541 millones, mientras que las de flores aumentaron 113 por ciento hasta US$2.059 millones.

La canasta exportadora se ha diversificado y depende menos del petróleo. AmCham propuso una hoja de ruta de ocho pasos para generar US$1.751 millones adicionales en ventas.

Entre las medidas se incluyen una mesa público-privada para monitorear barreras y el apoyo a 500 empresas para exportar. El 72 por ciento de la canasta ya goza de arancel cero.
