BOGOTA, April 26 (Reuters) - Colombia's peso opened trading on Wednesday with a 1.61% fall to 4,584.44 pesos
per dollar after President Gustavo Petro asked his cabinet
ministers to resign ahead of a reshuffle.
Petro's decision late on Tuesday followed upset in the lower
house, after debate on the government's controversial health
reform was abandoned because quorum had not been reached. Petro
said on Twitter the majority coalition he had enjoyed in
congress had been fractured by some party leaders.
