First Orange Economy Report 2014-2018

To prepare the report, the entity created an Orange Economy Information System (Siena) and used statistical information from the DANE and the Ministry of Culture.

The Dane revealed the first indicators of the orange economy in the country. In the document entitled Orange Economy first report 2019 it is recalled, as background, that between 2014 and 2017 the Culture Satellite Account reported an average relative weight of the added value of the cultural field of 1.1% in the total national added value.

In the report the entity delimits 32 economic activities referring to this concept, and 69 additional ones that have a total inclusion in these industries, which according to the Dane are defined as those activities “that in a chained manner allow ideas to be transformed into cultural goods and services, whose value is determined by their intellectual property content”.

In comparison with other countries, Colombia is below some of its peers in the region, such as Chile, which only in 2013 reported a contribution of 2.2% to its national Gross Value Added, or Argentina, which reported a participation of 2.56% in 2017.
