Summary:In recent years, Colombia has found several innovative ways to improve the efficiency of its public enterprise sector. One option used by Colombia to reform public enterprises has been to enhance their commercial orientation and limit the fiscal risk.

It also discusses the commercial orientation and fiscal risk of Isagen and Ecopetrol, respectively.
