Finance Minister To Discuss Tax Bill In Congress

COLOMBIA
  • Finance Minister Jose Antonio Ocampo discusses the government’s tax bill in Congress.
    • As a reminder, speaking late on Friday at a banking conference in Cartagena, Ocampo said he understands the problems caused by the proposal on dividends and the government is open to discussing changes.

    • Manuel Alberto Casanova, who like Petro was a member of the long-disbanded M-19 urban guerrilla movement, becomes the first civilian to hold the position as general manager of the National Intelligence Directorate (DNI). [AFP]
