#Atención El Gobierno logró ampliar el plazo para pagar parte de la deuda que tenía programada para 2026 y 2027. En total, $19,8 billones en vencimientos podrán trasladarse a otras vigencias, de manera distribuida, con algunos pagos que llegan hasta 2062, esto luego de un intercambio de deuda. Según el Ministerio de Hacienda, la operación tuvo un costo de $536.000 millones y contó con la participación de inversionistas locales y extranjeros. Además, la vida promedio de la deuda interna pasó de 9,97 a 10,17 años. #VocesySonidos

Last week, I met with Colombia’s Vice President-elect @jrestrp and congratulated him and President-Elect Abelardo De La Espriella on their victory. The Trump Administration is committed to a strong U.S.-Colombia partnership, and @USTreasury looks forward to working with the incoming administration to advance pro-growth policies, combat corruption and narcoterrorism, attract investment, and work with international financial institutions to support Colombia’s economic recovery and long-term prosperity. A thriving Colombia benefits the United States, the Western Hemisphere, and the world.
