Key points

• Key points:
• Colombia has a greater capacity to face the pandemic due to vaccination, having lower health impacts and, therefore, lower economic costs.
• Bottlenecks are idiosyncratic, more persistent and are arriving in Colombia with a lag.
• The high levels of inflation are initially explained by supply-side phenomena. The increase in core inflation stands out.
• A less expansionary monetary policy is expected in the first half of 2022 and a contractionary one for the second half of the year.
