Business dynamics

Cancelled companies

In the Bogotá region and the 59 municipalities under the jurisdiction of the CCB, an average of 21 thousand companies close annually. The cancellation of companies diminishes the productive capacity of the city and the region because investments and formal jobs are destroyed, both public and private revenues are reduced, the efforts and experience of entrepreneurs are lost, and sources of employment in the city are limited.
