• Resumen: Este ensayo evalúa, a través del análisis de la balanza de pagos, el manejo del sector externo durante el gobierno de Belisario Betancur Cuartas (1982-1986), destacando el papel de la política económica para este sector en la concepción global de los programas macroeconómicos de ese período, resaltando, además, la correspondencia entre lo planeado y lo efectivamente realizado. Se concluye que, exceptuando el relativo fracaso de la política de inversión extranjera, los resultados obtenidos reflejaron el éxito de la heterodoxia en las decisiones de política cambiaria; en efecto, se recuperó la paridad en la tasa de cambio, se obtuvo superávit en la balanza de pagos a partir de 1985 y se logró la reactivación económica, a lo cual contribuyó enormemente el comportamiento de) sector externo.
• Abstract: This paper analyses critically the management of the external sector during the years of the Betancur government (1982-1986), and relates it to broader questions of economic policy. It pays particular attention to intended and unintended effects. With the exception of foreign investment the article finds that the pragmatic policies chosen generally achieved their goals, generating a surplus in the balance of payments and contributing to economic recuperation.
