Juan Carlos Echeverry: upgrade is a vote of confidence in Colombia |
Colombia’s finance minister responded to Standard & Poor’s decision to upgrade the country’s credit rating to investment grade by saying that the country would deal actively with any “excessive wave” of dollar inflows.
Juan Carlos Echeverry told local media that the rating upgrade was a vote of confidence in the country, which joins Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Peru as investment grade, but that “I would expect we have sufficient instruments to guarantee stability”, suggesting the government is braced for fresh international funds heating the economy and exchange rate.
