Summary:

Colombia’s strong institutional frameworks and sound policy management have underpinned a strong macroeconomic performance and contributed to reducing vulnerabilities. The Colombian economy exhibited great resilience during the global crisis, and the output recovery is well entrenched. The impact on fund finances, risks, and safeguards are discussed. The Colombian authorities viewed that the uncertainties surrounding the external environment remain elevated and that a successor flexible credit line (FCL) arrangement with a duration of two years would provide useful protection against continuing external risks.
