Colombia | Weekly update BBVA Tracker: Consumption. June 19, 2020

In order to contribute to the analysis of the Colombian economy and take the pulse of the recovery, a project of high-frequency indicators was structured to measure the behaviour of the economy in real time, called the BBVA Economic Tracker. This first issue contains the section on tracking consumption
