Colombia Outlook: Growth Peaks at 2006 Levels
We are revising our 2011 and 2012 forecasts for Colombia due to stronger-than-expected Q3 GDP growth, which will have important carryover effects onto the following quarters. Despite robust expansion, seasonally adjusted data shows signs of moderation, which lead us to think that growth has peaked. Our call for the central bank to stay on hold will be revised if upcoming monetary policy meeting minutes or new language by authorities reflects changes due to this strong growth data. The possibility of another rate hike in the short run has increased considerably.
