While Cook supported the Feds decision to keep interest rates unchanged at the July policy meeting, she cautioned that the longer inflation remains above the Feds target, the more difficult it will be to curb it. Speaking at an event in Alaska, Cook said, "If I dont see signs of a sustained decline in inflation anytime soon, Im prepared to act. With inflation above target for five consecutive years, the risk of inflation becoming entrenched in price and wage-setting behavior is rising, which will lead to more persistent inflation that we will find harder to manage." However, Cook indicated that the waning impact of tariffs, the potential for lower oil prices, and easing pressures related to the AI boom might provide a buffer for inflation, thus necessitating policy tightening. She stated that her primary task remains getting inflation back to the Feds target level.SanDisk (SNDK.O) shares fell more than 3% in after-hours trading in the U.S.

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
