As part of a tax reform program pushed by President Gustavo Petro, who took office in early August, the government also plans to ban cash transactions for amounts surpassing 10 million Colombian pesos ($2,350).
“One of the important objectives is that when payments are made for a certain amount, they will be recorded in an electronic medium,” Reyes said.
Colombia joins other Latin American countries working on their respective CBDCs, including Brazil, Mexico and Peru.
