Decree of public administration rules 

Decree No. 0042 of January 21, 2026 introduces regulatory measures within Colombia’s public administration framework, adjusting institutional competences and operational rules to enhance government coordination and the effective implementation of public policies. The decree illustrates the Executive Branch’s exercise of its regulatory authority to refine administrative structures and ensure compliance with the applicable legal framework. These changes may have practical implications for private and regulated entities interacting with the State, particularly in relation to administrative procedures, institutional responsibilities, and regulatory oversight.
