Abstract

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es cuantificar la vulnerabilidad externa de la economía colombiana para el lapso 1990-2015. Para alcanzar este propósito, se calcularon dos indicadores, tomando como referencia la propuesta de Abeles y Valdecantos (2016). A partir de los resultados encontrados, se evidenció que, durante el transcurso del periodo estudiado, la economía colombiana, durante el transcurso del periodo estudiado, incrementó tanto su vulnerabilidad real como la financiera. Frente a este hallazgo, se argumentó que la mayor vulnerabilidad externa de este país se explica por dos razones: a) la incapacidad de esta economía para modificar su modelo de inserción comercial basado en la explotación de los recursos naturales y b) el incremento de la dependencia del financiamiento externo. Abstract: The objective of this study is to quantify the external vulnerability of the Colombian economy from 1990 to 2015. To achieve this purpose, two indicators were calculated, taking the proposal of Abeles and Valdecantos (2016) as reference. The results proved that the Colombian economy, during the period studied, increased its real and financial vulnerability. Facing this finding, the argument is made that the country’s greatest external vulnerability is explained for two reasons: (a) the inability of this economy to modify her model of commercial insertion based on the exploitation of natural resources and (b) the increase in dependence of the external financing. Résumé: Cette étude a pour but de quantifier la vulnérabilité externe de l’économie colombienne pour la période 1990-2015. Pour atteindre cet objectif, deux indicateurs ont été calculés, en prenant comme référence la proposition d’Abeles et Valdecantos (2016). Les résultats obtenus ont montré que, au cours de la période étudiée, l’économie colombienne a augmenté sa vulnérabilité réelle et financiere. Au vu de ce constat, il a été avancé que la plus grande vulnérabilité extérieure de ce pays s’explique par deux raisons: a) l’incapacité de cette économie a modifier son modele d’insertion commerciale basé sur l’exploitation des ressources naturelles et b) l’augmentation de la dépendance a l’égard des financements extérieurs.
