Bogotá seen from the surrounding hills.

Key takeaways

  • 2024 turned principles into obligations: the European law governs, the American executive model met its first deadline, Brazil's Senate approved.
  • Colombia produced doctrine before policy: T-323 and the data circular set standards while the national policy remained a draft.
  • Colombia's three structural deficits — institutions, talent, controls — end the year intact.
  • The open question of the US change of administration: the 2023–2024 executive scaffolding is under review.
  • Five questions will define 2025 — and this series will answer them against the same public yardstick.

The year began with principles and ended with obligations: the European law in force, US federal mandates, Brazil's bill approved in the Senate, and Colombia's first two enforceable rules. What changed — and what did not move.
