Significance
A Constitutional Court ruling barring members of his Movimiento Semilla (Seed Movement, Semilla) from holding congressional leadership positions will constrain the party’s room for manoeuvre. A congressional coalition, however, looks set to back Semilla’s agenda and help to facilitate governability.
Impacts
A judicial shake-up this year may improve transparency, with Congress making 250 appointments and changing all 13 Supreme Court justices.
A broader transparency push will make government contracting more competitive and open up opportunities for public-private partnerships.
Investigations into public contract corruption scandals will open up space for foreign firms with clean track records to win contracts.
