TL;DR
- Colombia's 10-year government bonds reached over 13% by the end of 2025, placing it among the highest borrowing costs globally.
- This rate is significantly higher than developed nations like the US, Germany, and Japan, and also higher than regional peers such as Peru, Chile, and Mexico.
- Economic researcher Diego Montañez-Herrera attributes the high rates to increased fiscal deficits leading to more debt and higher risk.
- Government debt has increased by 376 trillion pesos between August 2022 and October 2025, reaching 1.181 trillion pesos, or approximately 65% of GDP.
- The gross debt of the central national government is at 64.1% of GDP as of October 2025, the highest level since 2001 and a rapid increase from previous months.
- The increased debt leads to higher interest payments, making credit more expensive and potentially reducing social spending.
