The National Development Banks - NDBs, finance different sectors of the economy throughout the country. In this sense, it is identified that the entities focused on making placements in the secondary and tertiary sectors do not have an updated information characterization that contributes to a senior management decision-making process. The aim of this work is focused on establishing a solution to this challenge through the characterization of historical data over 8 years. This report responds to the needs of the NBS, specifically those of Acme S.A company to know if development is being promoted proportionally in the regions and states of Colombia concerning its GDP, level of competitiveness, and population density. Initially, information on rediscounts (financing) at constant prices was organized and grouped at the departmental level to analyze coverage. The statistical technique of percentiles was used, establishing a ranking that allows to identify the distribution of resources. After these activities, the data is compared against the information on GDP, population and departmental competitiveness to obtain the existing Pearson correlation coefficient and, to be able to generate a characterization based on real impact data. As a result, the correlation coefficient between the variables was determined as positive, indicating a direct relationship between what Acme S.A investments and the growth or decrease of the socio-economic indicators. According to the results obtained, it was identified that at the regional level, investment is centralized in the Andean and Caribbean regions, with 60% and 24% respectively. At the departmental level, around 25% of total investment is focused on Bogotá, followed by Antioquia and Atlántico with 13% and 12%, this information is consistent, given that these jurisdictions are in the top 5 departments in Colombia since the perspective of contribution to GDP and population density. To strengthen the analysis, a fourth variable was implemented, the Departmental Transparency Index - DTI. The main finding is that Meta and Tolima departments can get financing development because GDP, population, and competitiveness can be potentiated based on current investment outcomes findings. With a positive level of transparency as a crucial aspect. Furthermore, there is still a possibility of generating investment strategies to promote development for the departments Boyacá, Caquetá, Cauca, Cesar, Chocó, Guajira, Huila, Nariño, Putumayo, Quindío and Sucre, which also present an opportunity due to current investment, although their DTI is low.
