The Colombian currency The Colombian
peso is the legal tender in Colombia, it is usually abbreviated as COL and its circulation is controlled by the Banco de la República de Colombia.
There are currently coins of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 pesos in circulation, the latter having its first circulation between 1996 and 2002, however, it lost popularity because it was very easy to fake.
The coins of 500 and 1,000 pesos are bimetallic, to improve their security and prevent them from being illegally replicated; while all denominations have designs that allude to the biodiversity that exists in the country, including the spectacled bear, the flag macaw, the glass frog, the loggerhead turtle, among others.
Similarly and as has happened globally, the coronavirus pandemic has also dealt some “blows” to the currency, although not severe enough to destabilize it.
Recently, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has said that the Colombian economy could be the fastest growing in Latin America in 2022, after it maintains a forecast of growth in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of at least 5.5 percent, which means an increase of 3.5% with with respect to the last measurement.
Other analysts, such as those at BBVA, have pointed out that even the country's economy could reach 10%; growth would not stop ahead of 2023, as there is also an expected increase of 2.3%.
Among the adversities faced by the Colombian peso are inflation of 5.6 percent, the highest in five years, as well as social inequality, as poverty also rose by five points as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
