Colombia's Centro Democrático party presented a first discussion draft of its Economic Rescue Law, drawn up from meetings with lawmakers, consultations with economic experts and concerns from productive sectors. The text, still open to debate, rejects several tax increases proposed by the Government, such as VAT on staple goods, internet and tourism, and proposes eliminating from 2027 taxes including the wealth tax, the 4x1,000 levy and duties on sugary drinks, ultra-processed foods, gasoline, diesel, carbon and single-use plastics.

Colombia's inflation falls to 4.8% in October, a four-year low
DANE reported that Colombia's annual inflation stood at 4.8% in October, its most moderate reading since late 2021. The slowdown was driven by the food and non-alcoholic beverages division, with negative variations in staples such as potatoes, vegetables, plantains and eggs, plus stability in residential electricity and natural gas rates. Analysts and banking authorities said this disinflationary consolidation gives the Banco de la República's board room to continue cutting rates.
