Colombia’s Currency Drops to 11-Year Low as Oil Extends Decline
This article is for subscribers only.
Colombia’s peso fell to its lowest since June 2004 as oil, the nation’s biggest export, plunged on concern that a slowing global economy will pare demand.
The peso slid 0.9 percent to 2,694.5 per dollar at 9:11 a.m. in Bogota, extending its decline over the past 12 months to 31 percent. That’s the worst performance after the Russian ruble among 24 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
