"Colombia has the second best economic portfolio in Latin America
following Mexico," said Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank director Fred
Hochberg after meeting Tuesday with Colombia's President Juan Manuel
Santos.

According to a press announcement from the Casa de Nariño, Hochberg
emphasized the place of the Colombian economy within the context of
Latin America. "Colombia is a very interesting site of investment in
this moment," assured the Ex-Im Bank director.

He also revealed that Colombia is a key market for the exportation of
goods.

"We have identified nine countries around the world that are very key
countries for the expansion of our market of exports. In order we have
picked; Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Turquia, Nigeria, South Africa,
India, Indonesia, and Vietnam," declared the bank director.

According to the conversation with Santos, the work of the Ex-Im Bank
in Colombia will focus on investing in the sectors of infrastructure
and Small and Medium Businesses (PyME).
