# Colombia: 2019 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Colombia

> The IMF's 2019 Article IV consultation with Colombia reports GDP growth strengthened to 2.7 percent in 2018, supported by private consumption and a modest investment recovery. The current account deficit widened to 3.8 percent of GDP as imports surged and non-oil exports stayed sluggish. Inflation remained near 3 percent, and the Financing Law is expected to raise tax revenue in 2019.
