TL;DR
- Colombia is expected to have a fiscal deficit of -7.5% of GDP in 2025, the second highest among 41 countries analyzed by The Economist.
- The country faces high debt costs, with the yield on 10-year sovereign bonds increasing significantly.
- Fitch Ratings projects economic growth of 2.7% in 2025 and 2.9% in 2026, but anticipates fiscal deficits remaining above 6% of GDP.
- Government debt is expected to exceed 60% of GDP in the coming years due to persistent deficits.
- A 23% increase in the minimum wage for 2026 is estimated to raise the fiscal deficit by at least 0.3% of GDP in 2026 and 0.4% from 2027 onwards, further complicating fiscal adjustment efforts.
