The Colombian market was the only exception to growth in the region, facing an 11% drop due to the decrease in economic activity during the quarter, linked to the strategic decision by the Bank of the Republic to raise interest rates, a measure aimed at stabilizing the economy and mitigate persistent high inflation.
