Colombia Outlook: Enjoying the View
Growth continues in a robust path. We are revising up our 2012 and 2013 growth forecasts as downside risks from the global economy dissipate and domestic economic activity cools down gradually. Inflation will be pressed to the upside due to strong domestic demand. Inflation expectations continue within the central bank’s target range, although above the midpoint target. We expect the central bank (Banrep) to use macroprudential regulations aside from monetary tightening to control for credit growth. Excessive tightening could prove harmful as activity is decelerating, inflation remains within target and strong inflows continue to flood Colombian markets.
