The Nariño department in Colombia is experiencing a projected decline in regionalized investment funds. Data from the National Planning Department indicates that investment is expected to drop from 3.209 trillion pesos in 2024 to 2.882 trillion pesos in 2025, reaching 2.854 trillion pesos in 2026. This represents a cumulative reduction of approximately 355 billion pesos.

Political leaders from the Pacto Histórico have expressed indignation over these cuts, noting urgent requirements for infrastructure, health, education, and security. Observers have noted that despite Nariño providing strong electoral support to the government of Gustavo Petro, this alignment has not resulted in increased regional resources. In response, Senator Liliana Benavides has proposed forming a unified parliamentary bloc to defend the department's interests.
