Colombia CPI Reaction: August CPI helped by base effects, hurt by rent

Publication attachments

The August CPI data showed continued consolidation of inflation lower, with the headline CPI flat MoM and YoY inflation falling to 6.1% from 6.9%. Ex-food and regulated items printed at 0.2% MoM, bringing YoY core inflation to 5.5%. Rent continues to be the main contributor. The recent accumulation of positive inflation data, together with prospects for continued consolidation lower, provides the basis for a potential shift to faster cuts by BanRep.
