Abstract
The case of the Colombian ports sector reform illustrates how a concrete and decisive action to remove inefficiencies in the provision of public services may render substantial benefits to the economy as a whole. In the Colombian case, reform was framed within a much broader set of structural changes aimed at modernizing the economy and attaining a higher degree of international exposure. This paper describes the situation of Colombian ports before the reform including a discussion of the political and economic context at the time, critical aspects of reform formulation and implementation and the impacts of reform on transportation costs and on operational efficiency.
