What this data is
Policy rates for Colombia
The Bank for International Settlements maintains a single daily series of every major central bank's policy rate, on the same basis and in the same file. That's the source here. For each economy the page shows the current rate, when it last changed and by how much, and the history back to the start of the series.
Policy rates anchor short-term borrowing costs in a currency.
This page follows Colombia only. The full list and the cross-market view live on the Policy rates hub.

How to read it
- Count the steps, not the basis points. A bank that has moved three times in one direction is in a cycle.
- Rate differentials between two economies are what carry trades and currency futures respond to. Pair this page with the COT currency markets.
- The last-change date tells you how long a bank has held; a long pause after a run of moves means the bank is waiting.
