Fedesarrollo's survey projects March inflation to drop to 7.34% — and continue falling to hit 5.51% by year-end.

Banco de la República cut by 50 bps to 12.25%, but despite words expressing the "magnitude" of the cut, it was the absolute minimum they could have done.

The governor has pushed this agenda since the beginning of the campaign and it is truly vital to support the women living in rural areas.

Ecopetrol is reportedly looking for alternative natural gas sources to import, as Colombia may have a 17% deficit versus demand by 2025.

What will Banco de la República head Leonardo Villar and the rest of the Magnificent Seven do at their next meeting?

Ecopetrol has been a dividend cash cow for many years, but those days are surely coming to an end.

For reasons I cannot detect, Banco de la República only moves rates at 8 of their 12 annual meetings.

For 2024, Fedesarrollo is projecting GDP growth of 1.4% and a year-end CPI of 5.4%

The first quarter of 2024 recovery is likely to be modest as well — in large part due to the central bank's refusal to lower rates until December.
