In Colombia, interest rate decisions are taken by The Central Bank of Colombia (The Banco de la República). The Banco de la República implements monetary policy by changing interest rates, which either provide or withdraw liquidity from the economy. The official interest rates are the intervention interest rates (Tasas).

Latest Updates

The Central Bank of Colombia kept its benchmark rate unchanged at 9.25% in November 2025. Four board members supported holding rates, while two favored a 50 bp cut and one backed a 25 bp reduction. The board noted that inflation in October remained above end-2024 levels and that inflation expectations one and two years ahead increased. GDP grew 3.4% year-on-year in the third quarter, above forecasts, driven by a 5.6% expansion in total consumption. Policymakers also cited fiscal uncertainty following the failure to approve the Financing Law and a current account deficit of 2.4% of GDP in the third quarter. Despite accommodative global financial conditions after further US rate cuts, elevated geopolitical risks persist. The bank reaffirmed a cautious stance, with future decisions guided by inflation dynamics, economic activity, and domestic and external risks.
