Colombia: Higher interest rates, lower growth, but a soft-landing overall
At its meeting on 29 April, Colombia’s central bank (BanRep) increased its key policy rate by 50 basis points to 7.0% in a move against elevated inflation. Overall though, most indicators suggest that the economy – one of the best performing in the region over the last year or so – should experience a soft landing. Growth will continue, albeit more slowly than in 2015.
