Abstract

Uno de los objetivos de la política económica de mayor relevancia en los próximos anos es aprovechar las oportunidades internas y externas que tendrá el país. No obstante, la evidencia muestra que la economía colombiana no ha podido superar de manera sostenida niveles de crecimiento por encima del 4.5%. Al mismo tiempo que se presentan niveles de desempleo por encima de dos dígitos. Este trabajo presenta estimaciones por medio de diferentes metodologías del crecimiento económico potencial y de la tasa natural de desempleo. Se encuentra que el PIB potencial de la actualidad se ubica entre un 4.3 y 4.5% al ano, y la tasa natural de desempleo actual está alrededor de 10.5%. Estas cifras contrastan con las necesidades que en materia social se requieren para conducir al país por una senda de progreso económico y social. De tal manera se han identificado las limitaciones al crecimiento en diferentes áreas, los desafíos que se enfrentan y presentamos la cuantificación del impacto sobre el crecimiento económico de largo plazo, el desempleo y la pobreza, si se logran superar.
