MNI Colombia Central Bank Review - March 2024

MNI Colombia Central Bank Review - March 2024

Executive Summary

  • The Colombian central bank decided to cut the repo rate by 50bps to 12.25% at its March meeting.
  • The decision was split, with two members of the committee favouring a more dovish approach, one voting for a 75bp move and Finance Minister Bonilla voting for an even bolder 100bp adjustment.
  • The decision was in line with the majority of surveyed analysts, and the dissenting votes closely align with the dovish skew to the Bloomberg survey. Sell-side analysts remain split over whether the easing pace will be further accelerated in April, however, there is consensus that it will likely be upped at some point this year.
