The Financial Superintendence of Colombia published a press release summarising remarks by Superintendent César Ferrari at the IX China–Colombia Dialogue, where he backed deeper financial connectivity with China and reiterated that Colombia’s financial market is open to international entrants. Ferrari framed “financial connectivity” as the ability to interconnect institutions, people and companies with financial services and markets across jurisdictions in an efficient, affordable and secure way. He pointed to existing market-entry processes aligned with global standards, including Basel protocols, and argued Colombia could learn from China’s experience, particularly on monetary policy and liquidity, comparing China’s higher growth in means of payment with lower average inflation over the past 30 years. He also highlighted opportunities linked to the Pacific and referenced alternative financing sources such as the BRICS New Development Bank.
