Private sector estimates on the cost of a peace agreement with the rebel faction Farc – which has yet to be finalized – will be as high as 3.8% of GDP. While Cárdenas says that the costs are yet to be determined, because the peace accord is not yet finalized, he says there will be no change to the financial stability law that has underpinned Colombia’s recent growth.
