EM LATAM CREDIT: S&P Affirms Colombia 'BB+' FC Rating; Outlook Remains Neg

EM LATAM CREDIT
  • "High fiscal deficits, despite a recovery in tax revenues in 2025, are contributing to a rising government debt trajectory for Colombia. We expect economic growth will average 2.7% over the next two years, close to the country's trend growth rate.
  • The outlook remains negative, indicating the risk of a downgrade over the next 12 months if larger-than-expected fiscal deficits or weaker-than-expected economic growth translates into a rising general government debt burden.
  • Persistently weak domestic investor sentiment and higher global uncertainty constrain the country's growth prospects, straining Colombia's fiscal accounts." - Standard & Poor's
