Colombia central bank completes final TES B purchases, $1.5T total

Banco de la República has finished its final market purchases of TES B (Colombian government bonds) totaling $1.5 trillion, with end-August holdings at $42.93 trillion at market prices. This marks the conclusion of a central bank bond-buying program, likely part of quantitative easing or market stabilization. The completion may reduce direct central bank demand for government debt, potentially affecting yields and liquidity.
