Colombia is facing a complex stagflation scenario. Inflation rose to 13.3% in March (y-o-y) and shows signs of remaining above double digits at least until the end of the year. Looking at the disaggregated data, we see a slowdown in food inflation. However, the other components continue to rise, which makes it very difficult for Banco de la República to contemplate a decrease in the interest rate.
Will interest rates come down soon? No
