December  2011    The  Colombian  Government  has  launched  an  ambitious  infrastructure  plan,  involving  new  highways,  railways,  ports  and  airports  –  an  effort  aimed  at  increasing  the  nation’s  competitiveness  in  the  region  and  worldwide.  According  to  the  National  Infrastructure  Agency,  more  than  $40  billion,  including  significant  private  sector  support,  is  needed  to  bring  the  plan  to  fruition.      The  government  has  the  following  goals:    By  2014:  

• Roads:  100%  increase  in  four-­‐lane  highways  • Railways:  50%  increase  in  length  of  railways  in  

operation  • Ports:  50%  increase  in  load  capacity  • Airports:  35%  increase  in  passengers  mobilized  

   By  2018:  

• Roads:  Fourfold  increase  in  four-­‐lane  highways  • Railways:    Threefold  increase  in  length  of  railways  in  

operation  • Ports:  100%  capacity  increase  • Airports:  50%  capacity  increase  

 The  Government  of  Colombia  projects  that  between  2011  and  2012,  annual  investment  in  the  nation’s  infrastructure  will  double  from  $2  billion  to  $4  billion.    By  2014,  annual  investment  would  reach  $7  billion.    

                       

Colombia’s  Infrastructure  Market  

 National  Infrastructure  

Agency    

In  November,  the  Colombian  Government  approved  the  creation  of  the  new  National  Infrastructure  Agency  (ANI),  which  through  public-­‐private  partnerships  will  be  responsible  for  the  development  of  the  nation’s  transportation  infrastructure.  The  agency  will  first  begin  with  port,  rail  and  road  projects,  and  will  gradually  phase-­‐in  airport  projects.        The  ANI  replaces  Colombia’s  National  Institute  of  Concessions  (INCO).  Beginning  January  1,  2012,  the  ANI  will  be  led  by  Luis  Fernando  Andrade,  who  is  currently  the  director  of  INCO.  The  new  agency,  which  was  born  out  of  INCO,  will  be  more  technical  and  focused  on  ensuring  high  standards  in  project  management.  Its  Board  of  Directors  will  include  officials  from  the  Ministry  of  Mines  and  Energy  and  two  independent  advisory  board  members.
