Abstract

El comercio interno mayorista y minorista es una de las principales actividades del Departamento de Bolívar y en particular de Cartagena su capital. Este trabajo aborda la evolución de la actividad por medio de los principales indicadores de producción, mercado laboral y construcción de establecimientos destinados a comercio. Se encontró que el comercio interno, a pesar de sostener aumentos en su valor agregado, perdió participación en el departamento, debido al mayor crecimiento de otros sectores como la construcción y el turismo. No obstante, el comercio hace parte de la rama con mayor porcentaje de ocupados en la ciudad, aunque con una alta informalidad. Por su parte, la construcción licenciada para actividad comercial cedió participación frente a hoteles y bodegas. ******ABSTRACT: Domestic wholesale and retail trade is one of the main activities of the Department of Bolivar and in particular its capital Cartagena. This paper addresses the evolution of this activity through the main indicators of GDP, labor market and construction of establishments for trade. The results show that, despite sustained increases in added valve, local trade has lost participation in the total production, mainly due to the faster growth of sectors such as construction and tourism. Similarly, it is part of the branch with the highest percentage of people employed in the city, but with a high level of informality. On the other hand, the licensed commercial construction activity has been losing share to hotels and warehouses.
