According to the International Property Rights Index, prepared by the Property Rights Alliance, Colombia ranks 80th out of 125 countries. While this result reflects some progress in the protection of property rights compared to nations with less institutional development, it also highlights significant challenges.

Factors such as corruption, legal insecurity, and weak protection of intellectual property rights negatively affect the perception and guarantee of these rights in the country. Although Colombia has implemented reforms to improve the investment environment and strengthen respect for property, the path to more robust and reliable protection remains long. The current ranking indicates that there is room for improvement for Colombia to ensure a more stable and attractive framework for investment and economic development.
