The top 10 ranking of Spanish brands that are most trusted in Colombia is led by BBVA, followed by Zara and Repsol, which came in third. Ferrovial is in seventh place in the study.

The observatory, which aims to monitor the image and international reputation of Spanish companies in markets where they are present, shows that Spanish companies are recognized in the South American country as companies with good images and that they contribute to improving the country with their presence and activity.

Seven out of ten young Colombian university students consider Spanish companies to be highly recognizable and respected, to have a good reputation, to be credible, and to be valued by society as a whole and by the business sector in particular.

Generally speaking, respondents in Colombia perceive Spanish companies as prestigious (67.42 points out of 100) and having a good image (66.07 points), notably innovative (67.09 points), progressive in terms of technology (67.55 points) and in management (67.55 points), and trustworthy (67.12 points), as well as offering a quality image (67.52 points).
