Inter-monthly variation of the Monetary Policy Rate of Banco de la Republica

The monetary policy intervention rate is the minimum interest rate that Banco de la República charges financial institutions for loans it makes to them. This rate is the main monetary policy intervention mechanism used by central banks to control inflation. The intervention rate reported for April 2026 in Colombia is 11.25%.

The high interest rate is expected to continue contributing to reducing inflation in the coming months. In its January 2026 monetary policy report, the Central Bank projected total and core inflation of 6.3% for both, for 2026. Source: Banco de la República.
