Petro advierte que la economía de Colombia caerá en default si no se aprueba la reforma tributaria

El presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, advirtió sobre el riesgo de 'default' en el que podría caer la economía del país si no se aprueba la reforma tributaria en el Congreso de la República.

"Iríamos a un posible 'default' que yo voy a intentar evitar", afirmó durante la reunión semanal del Consejo de Ministros, donde también apuntó que "si el Congreso es responsable", les impondrían impuestos solo a los más ricos para reducir el coste de la deuda y equilibrar las cuentas públicas.

    Petro inicia con retos fiscales recta final de su gobierno

Si no se agregan nuevos ingresos, continuó el mandatario, "ese hueco sigue incrementado por la tasa de interés y Colombia no superaría el déficit fiscal que hoy tenemos".

Petro ha aprovechado su intervención para criticar al Banco de la República (el banco central de Colombia) por no reducir los tipos de interés desde el 9.25% actual.

Según el presidente colombiano, los esfuerzos de su equipo económico se orientan a superar este déficit fiscal: "Hay que superarlo, porque unas finanzas correctas nos permiten un crecimiento de la producción que el Banco de la República tampoco ha querido, pero que lo estamos logrando a pesar del Banco de la República".

La reforma tributaria, conocida bajo el nombre de Ley de Financiamiento, es la medida que quiere implementar el Gobierno de Petro para conseguir 16 billones de pesos (3,704 millones de euros) para financiar su presupuesto de 2026.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
