Este artículo cuantifica los efectos sobre la actividad productiva en Colombia que tiene la pandemia por COVID-19 y las medidas de contención, mitigación y recuperación adoptadas para enfrentarla. Además, se estudian los efectos distributivos, considerando distintos tipos de hogares, para analizar su impacto en los sectores más vulnerables de la economía. Para ello, se construyó un modelo CGE que resume el comportamiento de la economía colombiana y permite simular los choques por COVID-19. Se encontró un crecimiento económico de 4,6 % en 2021 que sería insuficiente para que el PIB alcance niveles prepandemia. Los efectos sociales serían devastadores en términos de pobreza, que luego de elevarse en cerca de ocho puntos porcentuales durante 2020, podría seguir aumentando hacia 2021 por efecto de la parcial recuperación de los mercados laborales.
This paper quantifies the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the productive activity in Colombia and the measures adopted to contain, mitigate, and recover from it. Additionally, distributional effects are studied, taking into consideration different types of households in order to analyse their impact on the most vulnerable sectors of the economy. For this purpose, a CGE model that summarises the behaviour of the Colombian economy and allows for simulation of the COVID-19 shocks is constructed. It found a growth of 4.6% in 2021, which would be insufficient for reaching pre-pandemic GDP levels. The social effects would be devastating in terms of poverty, which after rising by about eight percentage points during 2020, could continue increasing in 2021 due to the partial recovery of labour markets.
