Is there no fifth bad one?

TL;DR

  • The Colombian government has extended the intervention of Nueva EPS for an additional year.
  • This decision follows a period of speculation about the company's future, ruling out liquidation or a return to former partners.
  • Jorge Iván Ospina has been appointed as the new interventor, indicating continued government oversight.
  • Nueva EPS faces a 107% increase in complaints and an eight-fold rise in tutelas (legal actions) involving the entity.
  • The company is facing significant payment delays to suppliers, leading some to cease services.
  • The entity's last three annual financial statements have not been approved, creating uncertainty about its financial health.
  • This is the fifth interventor appointed in the past two years.
