Colombia central bank co-director Mauricio Villamizar said on Tuesday policy rates may need to rise further and remain higher for longer to curb rising inflation risks. Speaking at the IMF annual meeting in Bangkok, Villamizar cited El Nifio, the Iran war and a large fiscal deficit as upside price pressures, saying El Nifio’s hit to food and energy could exceed market expectations and push the country into "unknown territory." He said the bank expects rates to stay elevated for an extended period but that further hikes are on the table if necessary. The remarks follow a surprise rate increase last month that pushed rates to their highest level so far in 2024 as the central bank seeks to rebuild policy credibility after years of missing inflation targets.
