Colombia Economic
Outlook 1st Quarter 2018
Main messages
1. World growth shows robustness. Upward generalized revision in 2018 by areas, trending towards
stabilization in 2019. Latin American growth recovers. Growth is revised upwards by 0,1pp in 2018
and remains stable at 2,5% in 2019. Growth is supported mainly by the external sector and
investment.
2. Colombian recovery should consolidate in 2018, specially in the second half. Lower inflation
and interest rates and a more favorable global context support investment in equipment and
machinery and household expenditure in durable goods. For 2018 GDP growth would be 2,0% and
for 2019 3,0%.
3. Inflation will continue decelerating in 2018, achieving 3,1% in the year end. Exchange rate
stability and weakness in demand will allow inflation to decelerate in the first semester of 2018 and
stabilize around the mid-point of the target range. For 2019 inflation would close slightly below, at
2,8% The Central Bank will be able to reduce interest rates to 4,0% in the first semester.
Inflation behavior and its consolidation within the target range will allow the Bank to reduce its
reference rate in the first semester to maintain the real interest rate stable.
4. Structural imbalances, both external and fiscal, tend to improve. The demand adjustment and
higher oil prices allow for a reduction in the current account deficit to 3,2% in 2018, meanwhile the
fiscal deficit will meet the fiscal rule at 3,1% in 2018. For 2019 the government faces some
challenges in the fiscal front with the need to further reduce expenditure and improve revenue to
comply with the fiscal rule

OIL BRENT
(USD/B)
SOY
(USD/mt)
COPPER
(USD/lb)
Oil price reflects a greater demand but also some supply
factors, geopolitical risks and a correction of inventories. We
continue to anticipate a long term price of USD 60 per Brent
barrel due to higher competition
Copper price increased significantly by greater demand
and the pressure of financial factors. The later should
increase gradually looking forward

revenue Expenditure and revenue of the Central Government (% of GDP)

Fiscal balance (% of GDP)
The fiscal rule will be met in 2017 and 2018, despite lower than expected tax collections. For 2019 the pressure is greater and will require an active administration
by the government

Main messages
1. World growth shows robustness. Upward generalized revision in 2018 by areas, trending towards
stabilization in 2019. Latin American growth recovers. Growth is revised upwards by 0,1pp in 2018
and remains stable at 2,5% in 2019. Growth is supported mainly by the external sector and
investment.
2. Colombian recovery should consolidate in 2018, specially in the second half. Lower inflation
and interest rates and a more favorable global context support investment in equipment and
machinery and household expenditure in durable goods. For 2018 GDP growth would be 2,0% and
for 2019 3,0%.
3. Inflation will continue decelerating in 2018, achieving 3,1% in the year end. Exchange rate
stability and weakness in demand will allow inflation to decelerate in the first semester of 2018 and
stabilize around the mid-point of the target range. For 2019 inflation would close slightly below, at
2,8% The Central Bank will be able to reduce interest rates to 4,0% in the first semester.
Inflation behavior and its consolidation within the target range will allow the Bank to reduce its
reference rate in the first semester to maintain the real interest rate stable.
4. Structural imbalances, both external and fiscal, tend to improve. The demand adjustment and
higher oil prices allow for a reduction in the current account deficit to 3,2% in 2018, meanwhile the
fiscal deficit will meet the fiscal rule at 3,1% in 2018. For 2019 the government faces some
challenges in the fiscal front with the need to further reduce expenditure and improve revenue to
comply with the fiscal rule
