Políticas Públicas de Formalización Empresarial del Siglo XXI: Un Análisis Comparativo entre Colombia, Costa Rica y Perú

Abstract

Business formalization is a crucial challenge for governance in Colombia and Latin America, reconciling the operational structures of companies with economic growth, industrialization and the principles of fiscal sustainability necessary for modern States. However, despite being completely relevant, only a few countries have implemented specific public policies to encourage business formalization. This article aims to analyze public policies for business formalization in three Latin American countries: Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru. This qualitative research uses documentary analysis comparing three key documents: the CONPES Document 3956 of 2019 of Colombia, the National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030 of Costa Rica and the National Competitiveness and Productivity Policy (PNCP) of Peru; all of these policies in force until 2030. Although each country studied presents particularities in its regulations, the policies studied coincide in their common purpose of simplification and the challenges in relation to public institutions. Therefore, this research contributes to the study of public policy processes for business formalization and effective and sustainable institutional governance in a comparative perspective of Latin American policy.
