Colombia's Post-Earthquake Reconstruction Raises Concerns

The post-earthquake reconstruction process in Colombia is raising concerns after the earthquake that occurred on August 10. The country's construction sector has been weakened after a long crisis. Guillermo Herrera Castaño, President of the Colombian Chamber of Construction, assessed the situation and shared his concerns.

The country is expected to enter a major reconstruction process after the earthquake, which is predicted to be difficult. The situation of the construction sector may negatively affect the reconstruction process. The Colombian Chamber of Construction proposed the establishment of a special reconstruction regime to the government and advocated for a different aid system based on the situation of the earthquake victims.
