BOGOTA, May 5 (Reuters) - Colombia's full-year inflation
could come in below its current estimate, new Finance Minister
Ricardo Bonilla told journalists on Friday, while the country's
fiscal deficit target may be revised upward from its current
figure of 3.8% of GDP.
The central bank predicts consumer price growth will be 9.5%
at the close of 2023, but inflation figures released earlier on
Friday showed a fall in food price inflation - a top cause of
overall consumer price growth - of 0.07% in April.
