The Colombian financial system will remain resilient in 2014-18. It is mostly financed by domestic sources, has limited exposure to exchange-rate volatility, household debt is moderate and companies generally enjoy strong balance sheets. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects overall financial services to deepen in the forecast period, on the back of strong GDP growth, rising household incomes and growing banking penetration.
Lenders will remain solvent, as the system is well capitalised owing to compulsory countercyclical provisioning. The non-performing loan ratio (NPL) remains broadly stable and has improved considerably over the past decade-in February 2014 it stood at 3%, similar to the levels in 2013 and well below the 4.6% registered at end-2009.
