Editorial UPB TAS Edición Nro. 1, Año 1: Welcome to our blog!

The UPB Trade Analysis Series is an initiative by Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana’s International Business students.

In the “Regional and Multilateral Agreements” course of our program, we analyze the global trade trends and international tariff structures of key products exported by Colombia.

We use top-quality market analysis tools such as ITC’s Trade Map and Market Analysis Map as well as the Observatory of Economic Complexity. These tools are based on the UN’s COMTRADE database, which offers international trade information classified according to World Customs Organization’s product-specific Harmonized System. In this blog we turn our analysis into user-friendly and easy-to-read slides available to all.

Our goal is to support Colombian exporters, national and international investors and the Colombian government in their understanding of global markets. We hope our work helps identify worthy opportunities for our exporters and contributes to increase the presence of Colombia’s exports in the world.

Thank you for visiting our blog!
