Original Reddit post

Author argues for shorting COLO because Colombia's peso is artificially propped by high-rate external borrowing, a 22% minimum wage hike, and fragile inflation/unemployment, likely forcing rate hikes or money printing.

COLO — SHORT The author argues COLO will fall because Colombia's peso rebound is artificial, driven by government external borrowing at high rates rather than fundamentals. A 15-year comparison to crude oil shows a large divergence, and the government is propping up the peso ahead of elections. He believes the economy will be forced either to raise rates, driving out foreign investment, or to print money, with unemployment already at 8-9%.

I believe the Colombian president is artificially propping up the peso for his party because the election is in a few months as well as this year he raised minimum wage 22% to $550 a month.
