On Wednesday, July 2 at 3:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. COT, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, in partnership with the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, will host Central Bank Governor Leonardo Villar for a deep dive on Colombia’s monetary policy outlook and central bank priorities.
As one of Latin America’s most dynamic economies, Colombia is seeking to maintain growth and investor confidence while navigating global inflation, interest rate volatility, and currency pressures. This conversation will explore how Colombia’s central bank is responding to inflation and exchange rate dynamics, how it views interest rates, and how it is preparing for external shocks amid rising global uncertainties.
