El presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, advirtió sobre el riesgo de 'default' en el que podría caer la economía del país si no se aprueba la reforma tributaria en el Congreso de la República.

"Iríamos a un posible 'default' que yo voy a intentar evitar", afirmó durante la reunión semanal del Consejo de Ministros, donde también apuntó que "si el Congreso es responsable", les impondrían impuestos solo a los más ricos para reducir el coste de la deuda y equilibrar las cuentas públicas.

    Petro inicia con retos fiscales recta final de su gobierno

Si no se agregan nuevos ingresos, continuó el mandatario, "ese hueco sigue incrementado por la tasa de interés y Colombia no superaría el déficit fiscal que hoy tenemos".

Petro ha aprovechado su intervención para criticar al Banco de la República (el banco central de Colombia) por no reducir los tipos de interés desde el 9.25% actual.

Según el presidente colombiano, los esfuerzos de su equipo económico se orientan a superar este déficit fiscal: "Hay que superarlo, porque unas finanzas correctas nos permiten un crecimiento de la producción que el Banco de la República tampoco ha querido, pero que lo estamos logrando a pesar del Banco de la República".

La reforma tributaria, conocida bajo el nombre de Ley de Financiamiento, es la medida que quiere implementar el Gobierno de Petro para conseguir 16 billones de pesos (3,704 millones de euros) para financiar su presupuesto de 2026.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
