Abstract

El 23 de julio de 1923 tuvo lugar la fundación del Banco de la Republica. Su diseño siguió las recomendaciones de la misión dirigida por Edwin Kemmerer, el asesor norteamericano que por esa misma época lidero el establecimiento de bancos centrales con características similares en todos los países andinos de Suramérica: Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia y Chile. El centenario de esa fecha constituye una gran oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el papel que ha cumplido el Banco en la historia económica colombiana durante el siglo transcurrido desde su fundación. Gracias al apoyo del Banco de Desarrollo de America Latina-CAF, y de su presidente Sergio Diaz-Granados, hemos podido publicar en este libro cinco ensayos de gran relevancia para dicha reflexión. Los primeros cuatro fueron elaborados por autores que aparte de ser ampliamente reconocidos como historiadores, han sido también actores importantes de la política económica de Colombia y han estado vinculados directamente al Banco y a su Junta Directiva. Jose Antonio Ocampo presidio la Junta en dos oportunidades como ministro de Hacienda, entre agosto de 1996 y noviembre de 1997 y entre agosto de 2022 y abril de 2023, y fue codirector entre 2018 y 2019. Miguel Urrutia fue gerente general durante doce años a partir de 1993 y había sido previamente codirector desde la creación de la Junta Independiente por parte de la Constitución de 1991. Antonio Hernández Gamarra, por su parte, fue codirector entre 1996 y 2001 y Carlos Caballero, quien en este articulo esta acompañado de Pilar Esguerra como coautora, lo fue entre 2001 y 2003 […]
