La RepúblicaLO·CO·about 12 hours ago
Colombia's finance ministry and Congress agreed to reduce the 2027 budget allocation for debt service by $6.4 trillion, freeing resources for operations and investment. The revised budget allocates $149 trillion for debt, $392.6 trillion for operations, and $86.9 trillion for investment. This fiscal adjustment signals tighter budget constraints and potential trade-offs between debt servicing and spending priorities.
