These policy routes suggest a different path than the one indicated by the orthodox economic tradition that has ruled the policy practiced in Colombia. In particular, taking into account the institutional and external limitations of fiscal policy, the revival of the 'Development Bank' inside the Central Bank of Colombia, and insist in and the need of cooperation and coordination of macroeconomic policies with the countries of the region are insisted.
