Bank of America Expect 50BP Hike With Some Voting For Bolder Hike

COLOMBIA
  • BofA forecast the BanRep board to hike the policy rate by 50bp (to 10.50%) on October 28, in a split vote (with some board members voting for 100bp).

  • The recent sell-off of Colombian assets is putting pressure on BanRep to continue hiking. Meanwhile, President Petro has criticized BanRep's actions arguing that interest rate hikes are not helping to reduce inflation.
  • It will be interesting to see/test in the next month how insulated BanRep really is from political power. At the outset, BanRep's independence is written in the Constitution.
