Nuevas proyecciones apuntan a que la tasa del Banco de la República rondaría el 12% en 2026: estas son las razones

TL;DR

  • Itaú forecasts that Colombia's intervention interest rate could reach 12% in 2026.
  • Inflation is expected to remain above the target range (around 6.7%) due to persistent cost-push pressures and dynamic consumption.
  • Economic growth is projected between 2.3% and 2.5% in 2026, primarily driven by private consumption and increased public spending.
  • Investment is expected to show reduced dynamism due to regulatory and tax adjustments, and tighter financial conditions.
  • Fiscal deficit is projected to be between 6.5% and 7% of GDP, indicating persistent fiscal pressures.
  • Globally, the US Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates twice in 2026, potentially weakening the dollar.
  • Latin America's macroeconomic frameworks are considered more solid, offering resilience if growth, inflation control, and fiscal sustainability are balanced.
