This chart put in alert all the monetary institutions, including the Central Bank and Treasury Ministry, because this affects all the national economy, including the microeconomic behavior of the producer and consumer, because this passive accounts are debts of all the Colombia's population (Central Bank of Colombia, 2016). Recently, the minister of treasury came to La Sabana University to talk about “the new economy that comes behind the peace agreements”. He talked about a new goal to stop the growth of the budget deficit and the economy of Colombia when the war finally stops, he exposes this idea in 2015 with a press note. (Treasury Ministry, 2015).
