Fitch flags cash-flow strain on Colombian firms amid high rates; reform agenda may ease pressure

Fitch warns that Colombian companies face pressure from lower cash flow and high interest rates, which could weigh on credit profiles. The rating agency notes that the pro-market agenda of the De La Espriella government could help alleviate these pressures, though implementation remains uncertain. This signals potential credit deterioration in the corporate sector, with implications for local debt markets and economic growth.
