Colombia sovereign debt developments

Entities: Ministry of Finance (Colombia) · UVR · Banco de Occidente · Colombian peso · Colombia

Overview

In early July 2026, asset manager PIMCO announced an expansion of its holdings in Colombian sovereign bonds, signaling confidence in the market even as other foreign investors were retreating. By late July, Colombia’s Ministry of Finance reported that total public debt stood at 1.167 trillion pesos, or 60.5 % of GDP, marking a modest two‑month decline in the debt‑to‑GDP ratio after reaching 61.2 % in April. The debt blend remained heavily domestic (77 % of total), while external obligations accounted for about 23 %. Analysts noted that overall debt had risen by roughly 362 trillion pesos since August 2022, raising concerns about reduced fiscal flexibility. Debt‑service costs were projected to stay above 95 trillion pesos annually through 2031, with internal debt‑service alone expected to hit 149 trillion pesos in 2026.
