The governor of the Central Bank of Colombia, Juan José Echavarría, forecasts higher growth and contained inflation in 2018, as the institution continues an easing cycle initiated in 2016.

Colombia, a major exporter of raw materials such as coal and oil, suffered lower revenues and economic growth when oil prices fell dramatically in 2014. Prices dropped from $114 per barrel (/bbl) in June 2014 to $29/bbl in January 2016 on higher US shale oil production, and stand at $51/bbl today (August 16)
