Economic Growth

  • The Colombian economy expanded at a 3% annual rate in 1Q23, denoting resilient growth. Nevertheless, a slowdown is expected for the second half of 2023.
  • In fact, weakening economic activity is already evident in leading sectors (retail, construction, mining, and manufacturing).
  • Our updated economic forecasts for Colombia reflect a better outlook for 2023 (1.2%), but a gradual slowdown for 2024.

Inflation and Interest Rates

• Inflation peaked at 13.3% during March and has

consistently decreased to 12.1% in July, responding to

decreasing monetary stimulus and declining food

prices.

• However, inflation may be challenged by potential

pressures, due to sticky prices of regulated goods and

climate impact (El Niño). Only in early 2026 should inflation return to the Central Bank's target.

  • The Central Bank´s reference rate has stabilized at its 20-year high of 13.25%. Declining economic activity and receding inflation may motivate interest rate cuts before year end.

Public Finances

The fiscal deficit reached its worst level in 2020 but has managed to steer its course in recent years, driven by high oil prices and increasing tax revenues.

The fiscal outlook has improved, considering the government's announcements in the MTFF (Medium-Term Fiscal Framework), but there are questionable assumptions regarding additional sources of income (litigation and tax collection efficiency), amidst increasing social spending goals.
