Colombia requires $12 billion budget adjustment to comply with fiscal rule-committee

BOGOTA (Reuters) -Colombia will need a budget adjustment of 56 trillion pesos ($12.7 billion) to comply with its fiscal rule this year, an independent committee of experts said on Tuesday.

The Andean country may also require a budget adjustment of 39 trillion pesos ($8.8 billion) in 2025, a report from the Autonomous Fiscal Rule Committee (CARF) said.

Colombia’s government has already made cuts to its 2024 budget amid fiscal difficulties, and has been weighing further measures, including a possible 33 trillion peso trim.

The finance ministry in June announced a cut worth 20 trillion pesos due to lower than expected income.

The CARF already warned in July that Colombia could need additional adjustments to comply with the fiscal rule in 2024 and 2025 due to possible risks to tax collection goals, despite previous government announcements.

The fiscal rule was created in 2011 to impose policy constraints meant to block deterioration of public finances. To comply with the rule in 2024, the government would have to keep debt at 55.3% of GDP, rising to 56.4% of GDP in 2025.
