What the nominal exchange rate is and how the TRM affects the Colombian peso
The nominal exchange rate indicates how many pesos are needed to buy one dollar and is a central indicator for understanding Colombia's economic position. According to Noticiero 90 Minutos, a depreciation of the peso makes imported goods more expensive, while an appreciation lowers import costs but reduces exporters' competitiveness. The TRM, the simple arithmetic average of the day's weighted dollar purchase and sale rates among authorized entities, stands at 3,157.94 pesos per dollar.
