Why locate in Bogota?
In 2022, Bogota accounted for 27% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. Its GDP per capita is USD $12,117 and its population is more than 15% of the country’s population. Bogota has a per capita consumption of USD 8,742, more than double the country’s per capita consumption (USD 4,248), which has made it the country’s main consumption center.
Bogota’s GDP during 2022 (USD 95 billion), has surpassed that of several countries such as Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. Bogota has been characterized by a favorable macroeconomic environment with a growth of 9.9%, higher than that of Colombia (7.5%) and Latin America (2.7%) during 2022 compared to 2021.
The strategic location and its daily air connections make Bogota an ideal place to serve regional markets. Bogota has become home to more than 490 international (2022) infrastructure companies and receives almost half of the infrastructure projects coming to the country (2018-2022), making it an attractive destination for any foreign company in the sector.
At the close of 2022, Bogota has 44 infrastructure projects that are in the construction stage. In 2022, according to a study conducted by Corficolombiana, “the execution in road infrastructure in Bogota was admirable and left prospects for the coming years quite favorable”, as the sector recorded a real annual growth (without taking into account inflation) of 142% in 2022.
It is a stable city for doing business and has a solid financial system, according to the risk rating agency Fitch, which has rated Bogota with BBB.
