Cali’s GDP

Reliable data on Cali’s GDP and the sectors that are active in the economy do not exist, because national statistics agency DANE only analyzes municipal economic activity in Bogota. The Cali Mayor’s Office said earlier this year the Javeriana University would be providing this kind of data, but they have to publish their first economic studies on the city’s economy.

Cali’s estimated economic growth has been similar to the national average.

Cali’s wealth distribution

Colombia’s government uses social stratification to determine citizens’ rights to government subsidies on public utilities. While it is commonly used to define social class, it is hardly an indication of the Cali’s wealth distribution.
