The currency, although it was affected in the days after the first and second presidential rounds, in recent times it has registered strong increases pressured by the international scenario, in which several Latin American markets, such as Chile, have also today seen their currencies devalued to values historical.
This is mainly due to the policies of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), that is raising interest rates to curb inflation, which has repercussions in world markets and, especially, in emerging countries such as Colombia.
