  • Banco de la República (the Central Bank of Colombia, BanRep) informs that in May 2026 it made outright purchases of TES B in the market for COP 1,149.5 billion (value at market prices). These purchases were made in response to the difference between the projections of supply and demand of the monetary base, as well as to help in keeping the Overnight Benchmark Banking Indicator (IBR by its acronym in Spanish) aligned with the monetary policy rate determined by the Board of Directors of the Central Bank.

    At the end of May 2026, the outstanding balance of TES held by BanRep was COP 34,892.4 billion (value at market prices).

    BanRep’s TES B portfolio (expressed in nominal terms) is composed of peso-denominated TES (COP 33,500.4 billion) and UVR-denominated TES (UVR 19.9 billion).

    In June 2026, none of the TES B held by BanRep expires.

  • Regarding the foreign exchange market, in May 2026 BanRep did not perform any sale or purchase.
