# Widening imbalances to weigh on Colombia growth

> The IMF forecasts Colombia's economy will grow 3.5% in 2019 and 3.6% in 2020 after three years of underperformance. Analysts expect domestic-led growth alongside shrinking oil production to strain external and public accounts, with the central bank likely to keep rates steady.

## Why it matters

Colombia is a modest feed importer, so the growth outlook has little direct price impact on grains or meals; the weaker oil sector and external debt pressure mainly affect the peso.
