The foreign currency registered an appreciation of 10.28% at the end of 2021 due to the impact of political uncertainty and doubts about the economic outlook due to the new variants of the coronavirus.

Regionally, Latin American currencies were mixed on Tuesday as most stock markets rose on lower risk aversion, though fears of a global recession kept investors cautious on a day in which Colombian markets recorded heavy losses.

According to the Reuters agency, the Colombian markets led the falls, as a reaction to the victory of leftist Gustavo Petro in the presidential elections over the weekend, which accentuated investors’ fears about some of his proposals.
