Colombian bonds rank among highest yielding in emerging markets

At two years, Colombian bonds yield 13.843 percent, exceeding Brazil's rate and ranking fifth among emerging economies. Only Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Nigeria post higher yields.

For three- and five-year maturities, Colombia ranks fourth and fifth, with yields of 14.262 percent and 14.342 percent. At 10 years, the yield stands at 13.515 percent, the seventh highest globally and second in the region.

The figures reflect investors' elevated risk perception amid fiscal deterioration and economic uncertainty. The market continues to demand these securities for their high returns, though the country's financing costs rise.
