On August 5, 2026, the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) presented a strategic roadmap to the administration of Abelardo de la Espriella aimed at strengthening the country's capital markets and attracting investment amidst a period of declining investment. The proposed measures include the habilitation of US dollar accounts and tax benefits extending until retirement age.
Separately, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) proposed reducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) on flights in Colombia to 5 percent. This aviation sector proposal is intended to make commercial flights more affordable and position the industry as a key driver of the country's economic development by adjusting current tax policies affecting passengers and airlines.
