Colombian Vice President José Manuel Restrepo warned in an interview with Semana that Colombia could default next year if Congress does not pass its fiscal rescue bill by year-end. The bill would cut about $12.7B in spending and raise taxes, and faces resistance from coalition parties opposed to new levies.
A projected deficit above 9% of GDP and rising interest costs are driving the concern.
A default risk would likely weaken the Colombian peso and push up borrowing costs, while a passed bill and possible IMF support could stabilise it. Feed buyers sourcing from Colombia would see little direct grain or meal impact, but currency weakness could affect import costs.
