As part of the commemoration of the issuance of Law 25 of 1923, by which Banco de la República was created, the Bank's directors considered of great importance to reissue in digital format some of the most outstanding books on the monetary history of Colombia and the role of Banco de la República in the country's economy during its one hundred years of operation.

The Central Bank makes available to the public, free of charge, a digital collection of eleven books in which nearly forty authors participated, most of whom were employees of the Bank at the time they wrote these works. These books were produced in different periods and represent a valuable source of information and knowledge which we hope will contribute to future research on the country's economic history.

This collection provides a valuable perspective on the economic history of Colombia and the fundamental role that Banco de la República has played in it; therefore, it represents an essential resource for research and knowledge of our institution. Finally, we at Banco de la República would like to express our most sincere gratitude to all the authors and editors of the books that are part of this collection. Their research and analysis have been essential to understanding how our institution operates, the challenges it has faced, and the influence of public policies on the country's economy.
