Today you will learn about the regulatory differences between the main cities of Colombia and those in the Caribbean or further away from the central government. If the business is located in a capital city, the government is much stricter than in other cities.

This means that in cities like Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Bucaramanga, Pereira, Ibagué, Valledupar, Sincelejo, Quibdó there is more corruption in business than in Bogotá, Medellín, or Cali. In fact, on the Caribbean coast, almost 80% of the population steals electricity to avoid paying the bill.
