Colombia Economic Outlook
July 11, 2017
The Ministry of Finance presented this year’s medium-term fiscal plan on 14 June. The new macroeconomic assumptions include a downward revision to GDP growth this year, partially reflecting Q1’s disappointing reading. While the economy is expected to pick up in 2018, public spending is projected to fall—the result of fiscal consolidation efforts—and thus represents a downside risk to GDP growth. The fiscal plan also presented the first estimates for the costs of implementing the peace deal with FARC, which amount to about 15% of 2016’s GDP over the course of the next 15 years.Colombia Economy Data
