Abstract:

Although the economy maintained a reasonable annual pace of growth in Q2, the expansion became less broad-based with investment slowing sharply as the fall in the terms of trade dampened capital spending in the oil sector. With global oil prices set to stay low in the medium term, overall GDP growth will be relatively modest compared to that seen during the period 2010-14. In addition, the large current account deficit has exposed the exchange rate to major downward pressure over the last year (only the Brazilian real and the Russian ruble have fallen more). The impact of currency devaluation and rising food prices has pushed CPI inflation up to 5.4% in September, prompting the central bank to raise its policy rate by 25bp and we now expect another 25bp hike before the end of the year.Notwithstanding the slowdown this year, Colombias overall economic prospects remain fairly robust compared with the rest of the region provided that external developments do not destabilize the positive long-term expectations that have built up over the last decade. We expect GDP growth of 3% this year and 2.8% in 2016.
