ANDI accepts Bruce Mac Master’s resignation after more than twelve years and opens the process to choose his replacement

The departure of the head of the country’s main business association comes after weeks of tension with the government of Abelardo de la Espriella. The board did not explain the reasons.

The board of the National Association of Entrepreneurs of Colombia (ANDI) accepted Bruce Mac Master’s resignation on Monday, October 5, and announced a committee to choose his successor, according to Vanguardia, El Universal and Noticias RCN. Mac Master had submitted the letter on October 1, after more than twelve years at the head of the association, Forbes Colombia reported. The message released after the meeting did not detail the causes, and the association said it has channels of dialogue with the Government open.

Forbes and Publimetro reported weeks of tension with the Casa de Nariño: Mac Master had denounced a systematic campaign against the association after the magazine Semana published that the Government had instructed its ministers not to meet with him. Publimetro headlined that he left “under pressure,” but makes clear there is no evidence of a direct order from the president. One source says the decision had been planned for October 14. DailyDrop did not see the names of the committee or an election date.

MSCI COLCAP rose 2.69% on Monday, its biggest daily gain since June 19, and came close to its record high

The Colombian stock market had its best day since June 19 on Monday, October 5: the MSCI COLCAP rose 2.69%, according to Rankia, and Rio Times describes it as part of a regional rally. It had closed Friday at 2,515.02 points (−0.59%). On Tuesday it added 0.25% and closed at 2,589.04, which puts Monday’s close at around 2,582.6, a DailyDrop calculation and not a published figure.

Rankia recalls that the record high is 2,626.71 points, from September 10. The sources consulted do not detail which stocks led the advance. With the dollar falling the same day, the move coincides with a greater appetite for Colombian assets, but DailyDrop found no official explanation.

Drones launch explosives at the Aguachica police station for the second time in less than two weeks

Around 1:10 a.m. on Monday, October 5, a drone flew over the police station in Aguachica, in southern Cesar, and four loud detonations were heard, according to Vanguardia, El País and Minuto60. No police officers or civilians were killed; a detainee was wounded in the leg and the damage was material. According to the reports, three men who were being held in the cells escaped and are being sought.

It is the second attack on the same station in less than two weeks. Blu Radio reported that the authorities are preliminarily investigating whether the ELN is behind it. The Cesar Governor’s Office pointed to retaliation for the results of the national government’s security plan as the main hypothesis. The authorities have not confirmed who is responsible. The Mayor’s Office called a new security council.

Analysts expect September inflation to rise to 6.33%, and DANE will publish it on Wednesday

A Citi survey cited by La República projects that annual inflation in September rose to 6.33%, from 6.24% in August. Education and food would drive the increase, and core inflation, which excludes food and regulated prices, rose to 6.1%. Vanguardia reported that analysts expected DANE’s figure on Wednesday, October 7, and that the dollar opened lower awaiting it.

For households, 6% inflation means that what cost 100,000 pesos a year ago costs about 106,000 pesos today. For the Banco de la República, a pickup complicates a possible rate cut. DailyDrop found no recent statements from the board and no official DANE projection, which publishes the figure only at the end of the month.
