Colombian inflation slowed for the first time in four months, potentially bolstering the arguments of the minority on the central board who last week voted to restart interest rate cuts. Consumer prices rose 5.09% in March from the same month a year earlier, the statistics agency said Monday, the slowest pace since late 2021. That was lower than the 5.12% median forecast of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.

Colombia’s half a million coffee-growing families are braced for a hit in their biggest market from Donald Trump’s tariffs, souring a year that began hopefully as global prices soared to a record. “President Trump’s announcement generates a legitimate worry in our coffee sector, especially for its possible effect on coffee demand from our most important buyer, the US,” German Bahamon, the head of the national coffee growers’ federation, said in a post on X.

A day after Colombia’s president accused the central bank of economic sabotage for its refusal to cut interest rates, bank Governor Leonardo Villar said that dealing with political pressure is “part of the job.”“The bank has been attacked and asked to undertake different actions at many points in history,” Villar said Tuesday, in an interview in Bogota. “But what everybody knows is that the bank has always acted in the interests of the nation and not responded to these types of requests.”

Esto de las minutas de @BancoRepublica es grande. A pesar de que el grupo minoritario de la junta que apoyó la reducción de la tasa de interés en 50pbs cambió su postura a 25pbs, no logró convencer a O.L. Acosta a cambiar su voto de estabilidad de tasas. La decisión fue solida. https://t.co/3WUSfHfRH9
