A favorable macro-economic climate spurred on by a growing middle-class and regional diversification sees a country on the rise

摘要

In the eyes of the international community, Colombia was a country steeped in violence, embroiled in drug traffic and corruption that tarnished the image of a vibrant country abundant in natural resources and located at the gateway linking South and Central America. This stigma has become a thing of the past, as modern-day Colombia offers the security and economic and political stability for business to thrive. This context has captured the attention of companies throughout the chemical value chain in Latin America, such as Anastacio Overseas, the international trading arm of Sao Paulo-based Quimica Anastacio, which has experienced its sharpest growth in the region from its Colombian operations, according to CEO Jan Krueder.
