On 19 December 2023, the Board of Directors of Banco de la República (BDBR) announced the start of a Foreign Reserves (FRs) Accumulation Program for a maximum amount of USD 1,500 million (m). The purpose of this program is to ensure adequate levels of external liquidity and prepare for a potential gradual reduction in Colombia's access to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Flexible Credit Line (FCL), as announced during the renewal of this instrument.
