Colombia, The C in the CIVETS
“The new BRICs are Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa (CIVETS). They are countries with major populations, dynamic, diverse economies, political stability and each of them has a brilliant future. Any company with global ambitions will have to take immediate action in these markets.� Michael Geoghegan, CEO HSBC April 26, 2010 in his speech to AmCham Hong Kong
The World is talking about Colombia…
“Whether on security, democratic stability, or vibrancy, the strength of Colombia’s democracy is there for all to see” Eric Farnsworth, vice president of the Council of the Americas.
“Colombia has increasingly become a bright star in the Latin American constellation,”
“While everybody’s been focused on the super hot Brazilian Economy to the south, Colombia’s quietly gone and become amazingly investable” Jim Cramer - 8 February 2011
Walter Molano, Emerging-market analyst of BCP Securities
“Yet against all odds Colombia has become the country to watch in the hemisphere.” Newsweek, July 2010.
Enhanced economic performance has come hand in hand with improved security
