Dólar en Colombia: prevén que por la alta deuda del Gobierno la divisa se descuelgue más y las remesas rindan menos

TL;DR

  • The Colombian peso has strengthened against the US dollar, reaching levels not seen in over four and a half years.
  • The weak dollar is attributed to international market stability and the relationship between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve.
  • The Colombian government's issuance of nearly $5 billion in debt is a significant internal factor contributing to the peso's strength.
  • A stronger peso could negatively impact remittances, as the value of money sent from abroad decreases.
  • Exporters may face reduced profits and competitiveness due to the stronger peso.
