| Tlo historyczne | Kolumbia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Kolumbia w 1830 (the others are Ekwador and Wenezuela). A 40-year conflict between government forces and anti-government insurgent groups and illegal paramilitary groups - both heavily funded by the drug trade - escalated during the 1990s. The insurgents lack the military or popular support necessary to overthrow the government, and violence has been decreasing since about 2002, but insurgents continue attacks against civilians and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence. More than 32,000 former paramilitaries had demobilized by the end of 2006 and the United Self Defense Forces of Kolumbia (AUC) as a formal organization had ceased to function. Still, some renegades continued to engage w criminal activities. The Kolumbian Government has stepped up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country, and now has a presence w every one of its municipalities. However, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders. | Kolumbia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Kolumbia w 1830 (the others are Ekwador and Wenezuela).

Paramilitary groups challenge the insurgents dla control of territory and the drug trade. Most paramilitary members have demobilized since 2002 w an ongoing peace process, although their commitment to ceasing illicit activity is unclear.

| Ekonomia | Kolumbia's economy has experienced positive growth over the past five years despite a serious armed conflict. In fact, 2007 is regarded by policy makers and the private sector as one of the best economic years w recent history, after 2005. The economy continues to improve w part because of austere government budgets, focused efforts to reduce public debt levels, an export-oriented growth strategy, improved domestic security, and high commodity prices. Ongoing economic problems facing President URIBE include reforming the pension system, reducing high unemployment, and funding new exploration to offset declining oil production. The government's economic reforms and democratic security strategy, coupled z increased investment, have engendered a growing sense of confidence w the economy. However, the business sector continues to be concerned about failure of the US Congress to approve the signed FTA. | Kolumbia's economy has been on a recovery trend during the past two years despite a serious armed conflict. The economy continues to improve thanks to austere government budgets, focused efforts to reduce public debt levels, an export-oriented growth strategy, and an improved security situation w the country. Ongoing economic problems facing President URIBE range from reforming the pension system to reducing high unemployment. New exploration is needed to offset declining oil production. On the positive side, several international financial institutions have praised the economic reforms introduced by URIBE, which succeeded w reducing the public-sector deficit below 1.5% of Produkt krajowy brutto. The government's economic policy and democratic security strategy have engendered a growing sense of confidence w the economy, particularly within the business sector. Coffee prices have recovered from previous lows as the Kolumbian coffee industry pursues greater market shares w developed countries such as the Stany Zjednoczone. |
