Finance Colombia publisher Loren Moss explains two credit card scams travelers face in Colombia — and the simple habits that keep your money safe.

The runoff may decide Colombia’s next president, but neither finalist commands enough seats in Congress to govern alone. Both candidates would need broad coalitions to pass reforms and implement their legislative agendas.

Colombia's runoff pits a pro-business outsider against a Bulgaria-educated neo-Marxist Petro ally — with petroleum, healthcare, and investment sectors watching closely.

Abelardo de la Espriella led Colombia's first round with 43.7%; he faces leftist senator Iván Cepeda in a June 21 runoff.

Colombia's May 31 election pits three candidates with opposite records on oil, investment, security, and foreign policy.

The Colombian central bank adjusts its stance as global energy instability and persistent internal pressures drive inflation concerns.

Record homicides and guerilla expansion challenge Colombia's security under the current president, impacting international investment and regional stability.
