“Colombia’s economy has prospered: GDP growth has been strong; the average Colombian’s income has doubled in less than a decade; and BusinessWeek even called Colombia ‘the most extreme emerging market on Earth’ in 2007. And the residential neighborhoods are keeping pace, too – they’re dotted with cafés and restaurants that would rival those in European cities. As should be clear by now, there’s a stark contrast between the perception of Colombia and its reality. While the country isn’t perfect and drugs are still a problem, they are only a fraction of the problem they were 20 years ago. Though few are talking about it, Colombia is up and coming.”
