Abelardo De La Espriella authorizes the resumption of coal exports to Israel and implements new economic decrees.

Abelardo De La Espriella has authorized the resumption of coal exports to Israel, reversing a previous ban that had restricted sales to the country. The move aims to end ideological restrictions that previously hindered the economy and restored international trust. This decision follows a request from the National Association of Foreign Trade, which noted that the ban had reduced annual exports by approximately 3.5 million tons. In addition to the coal export authorization, Abelardo De La Espriella ordered the removal of previous government delegates from the country's commerce boards. He plans to replace them with new representatives to ensure transparency and fiscal discipline. Furthermore, the administration announced the elimination of ProColombia's seats worldwide, moving its activities to embassies to reduce operational costs. These measures are part of a broader institutional transformation agenda focused on fiscal discipline and attracting investment.
