Summary
The minutes show the BanRep’s resolve to remain on hold for a while.
The minutes of November’s meeting (when the bank cut its policy rate by 25bp) appear very similar to the minutes of the October meeting (when the board remained on hold). Both sets of minutes are broadly neutral, in our view.

Summary
Strengthening labour market. The unemployment rate (urban areas) declined to 10.2% in October from 10.7% in the month before. This was better than the consensus expectation of 10.5%. The national unemployment rate was 8.9%. The strengthening of the labour market and continued availability of credit, albeit at a reduced pace, bode well for domestic consumption and demand.

Colombia: Record-low popularity for President Santos
COLOMBIA
Colombian President Santos’ support falls sharply. President Santos’s approval rating fell 15pp in one month to a record low of 45% in November. This was likely driven by a court ruling in favour of Nicaragua and against Colombia in a dispute over territorial waters in the Caribbean Sea. Last month, the International Court of Justice in the Hague ordered Colombia to give sovereignty of some territorial waters to Nicaragua. This order reduces Colombia's maritime borders in the Caribbean Sea and has prompted Colombia to withdraw from the International Court of Justice.
