IMF approves new $10.8 billion, two year credit line for Colombia

The International Monetary Fund said on Friday its executive board approved a new two-year flexible credit line of about $10.8 billion for Colombia, replacing an expiring facility, Trend reports citing Reuters.

The renewal of the precautionary credit line comes as the coronavirus pandemic is expected to cause Colombia’s economy to contract for the first time in more than two decades, the IMF said.

Colombia received $250 million in emergency financing from the World Bank last month to help its health response to the pandemic.
