Colombia's Representative Market Rate (TRM) is showing a period of relative stabilization in the first days of November, after months of high volatility linked to global geopolitical uncertainty, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions and fluctuations in international oil prices. A dollar stabilized in moderate ranges lowers costs for importers of raw materials and capital goods, while traditional exporters must adjust their margins. Banco de la República monitors the exchange rate to assess inflation's convergence toward the 3% target.
