Abstract

House construction is not a leading sector as shown by its low income and price elasticities and its limited ties with other sectors. This is particulary true for low cost housing. The sectors employment, an important tool when applying anti-cyclical policies, is, nevertheless, unstable and badly paid. An expansion on construction, apparently responds moderately to real credit growth and seems not to have limited the flow of resources to other sectors. Housing, in Colombia, has had a high priority in the last years and credit, used as a policy instrument, has allowed the transformation of a latent demand into current demand. Now then, in the country the housing and savings corporations have discarded the financing of popular housing, which should be provided by leaks in existing units. That is, substantially changing even eliminating the existing indexation system would not be easy considering the different interests involved.
