Colombia's Air-e electricity distributor, serving 1.3 million customers across three departments, has seen its debt more than double since government intervention 20 months ago, reaching $2.1–3.9 trillion. The company loses over half its purchased energy to illegal connections and unpaid bills, while thermal generators supplying 35% of regional power operate at a loss and face imminent refusal to continue generation. The crisis disproportionately affects low-income populations in the Caribbean region, where 85% of users belong to lower income strata.

The Foreign Investors Council warns that Romania's ongoing political crisis—triggered by the PSD's withdrawal from the governing coalition—threatens economic stability and investor confidence. With 53% of surveyed companies reporting deteriorated legislative predictability and historical FDI sensitivity to policy uncertainty, prolonged instability could reduce annual foreign direct investment inflows from the recent EUR 6-7 billion average, particularly given elevated public debt and regional competitive pressures.
