TL;DR
- The year 2026 is projected to be a period of stability in the foreign exchange market, following a strengthening of the Colombian peso and other emerging currencies against the dollar in 2025.
- Bancolombia forecasts an average dollar price of $3,878 by the end of 2026, citing remittances and carry trade as drivers for a strong peso.
- Projections from the Marco Fiscal de Mediano Plazo suggest the dollar could close at $4,408 in 2026.
- Other analysts, like those at Credicorp Capital, anticipate a gradual depreciation of the peso due to local factors and reduced risk appetite.
- Despite varied local predictions, the Colombian peso is expected to remain strong regionally, alongside the Mexican peso, as the strongest Latin American currency.
- Bancolombia predicts a moderate appreciation trend for the exchange rate, with an average of $4,103 in 2026, influenced by global dollar weakness and foreign investor interest, but fiscal risks are noted as crucial.
