A Corficolombiana report says a possible El Niño phenomenon with very high temperatures would pressure food prices in Colombia, with a stronger effect on meat, milk, vegetables, fruit and rice. Although no significant impact is evident yet, the phenomenon's growing intensity suggests its effects could pass through to these prices toward the end of the year. The forecast indicates inflation would moderate to 5.5% in 2027, with a slow convergence to the target.
