The Colombian exchange rate has lost more than $ 180 since last May 5.
The dollar in Colombia began the week falling $ 20 and is trading this Tuesday near $ 3,660. This is the fifth consecutive downward day in the exchange rate.
In fact, the dollar in Colombia has lost more than $ 180 since last May 5, the maximum of the year at which the exchange rate reached after knowing the withdrawal of the tax reform.
For this reason, the expectation continues around the new tax reform that the Government is building through consensus, which would have a collection goal of about $ 14 billion: almost $ 10 billion less than the previous reform.
Within the framework of the national strike, this Monday the Government announced a subsidy that will finance 25% of a minimum wage for young workers between 18 and 28 years old.
On the other hand, international oil prices register slight drops: Brent, the reference that Colombia (Ecopetrol) uses, falls 0.29% to US $ 69.29.
