Colombian Inflation Rate at a 40 year Low!

The rate of increase in consumer prices in Colombia this year is at 3.98% (The lowest in 40 years).



I took this article from El Tiempo today:

Agosto 1 de 2005
7:32 p.m.
La inflación en julio fue de 0,05 por ciento

En lo que va corrido del año, el aumento en el Índice de Precios al Consumidor ha sido de 3,98 por ciento, el más bajo en los últimos 40 años.

La inflación de este mes, fue ligeramente superior a la registrada en julio del año pasado, cuando el aumento fue de 0,03 por ciento.

En los últimos 12 meses, la inflación acumulada es de 4,91 por ciento frente al 6,19 por ciento del año terminado en julio del 2004.

The credit should go to Uribe... He has worked hard to get help from the USA and has assembled a good economic team to keep the Colombian economy on an even keel. ¡Qué paisa tan berraco!

Help! I just italiziced everything below my post on the main page! That is so annoying. I am trying to cancel to italics by closing the tag, not working. Anybody know the trick beside UC?

Italics? What Italics?

I'll be damned UC If you didn't solve the problem with the Italics.

You came to the rescue just like Chapulin Colorado (no contaban con mi astucia!).

Can you please share the knowledge with the rest of us? come on, pretty please?

ColX - I agree with you that this is an extremely positive article, it means consumer prices in colombia are pretty stable, signs of a stable economy. Good news for the people of colombia, wont' have to be watching prices sky rocket faster than the minimum wage....Good for us expats when we go visit, our buckros will go a long way. I also read some great news yesterday, the biggest desmovilizacion de paras en antioquia, 2000 entregaron las armas. That is something. I think things are looking up for colombia, I am pretty confident one day we will be able to rent a car in guajira and drive down to leticia with no threat to our safety. Call me a dreamer, but this is how I see it.

Bancolombia S.A. Pref ADS (CIB) 19.85 +0.41 (+2.11%) Hace 3 años estaba como a $2.00. Ojalá sea un símbolo del porvernir de Colombia, patria querida.

Paz y progreso

You've never posted a photo, Colombiche, which certainly doesn't help me and Elmo fantasize about you.
