For the 6th time since June 2012...and 4th straight month...Bogota's central bank voted to cut the benchmark interest rate.
This time...by a unanimous vote...it sliced the rate 25 bps...to 3.75%...to help revive the slowest growth in the Andes region...as inflation registered 2% in December...the low end of its target rate.
The new rate change drove down the COP/peso...to 1798.90 per usd...now down 1.83% ytd.
