Colombia’s central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 12.00% in its August 2025 policy decision, maintaining the same level set in June 2026, according to data updated on 31 July 2026.
The decision signals continued caution by policymakers, who appear to be prioritizing stability over renewed tightening or premature easing. With the key rate holding at 12.00% across the period, markets are likely to interpret the move as an indication that the central bank is still assessing inflation dynamics and growth prospects before shifting its policy stance.
