Colombia’s central bank unexpectedly raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 12.25% on its September meeting, the highest level since early 2024, as it seeks to bring inflation back toward target after years of above-target price growth. Four policymakers backed the increase, while two voted to hold and one favored a larger 50-basis-point hike. Annual inflation accelerated to 6.24% in August and is expected to remain above the upper end of the central bank’s 2%-4% target range through 2026 and 2027. The board said the decision maintained a restrictive monetary policy consistent with a declining inflation path in 2027. Meanwhile, recent data pointed to weaker economic activity, with urban unemployment rising to 9.1% in August and economic activity, manufacturing and retail sales falling short of forecasts in July. The decision came amid concerns over the country’s fiscal outlook, with the government facing a widening budget deficit and seeking discussions with the IMF.

Meanwhile, US PCE inflation came in slightly below estimates, easing some concerns over further Fed rate hikes.
