Dosquebradas and Manizales launch economic recovery initiatives
In Colombia, local authorities are implementing economic reactivation strategies following earthquake damage. In Dosquebradas, the 'DO RE MI' fair has been launched at the El Progreso Shopping Center to support approximately 50 affected businesses. A local diagnostic report indicates that the earthquake impacted 2,328 companies, causing an estimated 170 billion peso loss and affecting 4,708 jobs. Notably, 87.8% of the affected businesses lack insurance.
Similarly, Manizales is hosting a weekend of commercial reactivation across six urban points, including El Cable and Chipre, to support local entrepreneurs and gastronomy sectors. A previous phase of this initiative reportedly generated over 300 million pesos in sales.
