Colombia's Banco de la República raised its intervention rate by 100 basis points to 10.25%—the highest in over a year—in its first 2026 board meeting, citing persistent inflation above 5% for nearly six months and unanchored expectations from a 23.8% minimum wage hike decreed by President Petro's government. The decision, with a split 4-2-1 vote, drew market surprise and government criticism over economic contraction risks.
Il Comitato di Politica Monetaria (Copom) della Banca Centrale del Brasile ha mantenuto il tasso Selic al 15% annuo per la quinta volta consecutiva il 28 gennaio 2026, ma ha segnalato che inizierà i tagli nella riunione di marzo se lo scenario economico reggerà. La decisione riflette il raffreddamento dell'inflazione, che ha chiuso il 2025 al 4,26%, sotto il soffitto dell'obiettivo. Analisti e gruppi come la CNI vedono spazio per l'allentamento, ma la BC sottolinea cautela tra aspettative non ancorate e incertezze globali.
