La economía más allá de la pandemia
El Tiempo
Las incertidumbres que rodean tanto los temas de salud como los económicos siguen siendo inmensas. Aunque Colombia es un caso relativamente exitoso en el control de la pandemia, la tendencia todavía ascendente de infecciones y muertes, el escaso número de pruebas diarias y la larga demora en garantizar respiradores siguen siendo problemas críticos.
Sobre economía, tendremos que esperar nuevos datos, especialmente una nueva encuesta de empleo. Todo indica, sin embargo, que la actividad económica de mayo fue algo menos negativa que la de abril, pero no se puede eliminar la posibilidad de que la apertura de la economía acentúe los problemas de salud que obliguen a nuevos cierres.
