BOGOTA (Reuters) â Colombia will look to raise 15.2 trillion pesos ($3.97 billion) in a new tax reform set to be proposed to Congress, as the government looks to shore up the countryâs finances amid credit rating troubles and growing debt, Finance Minister Jose Manuel Restrepo said on Tuesday.
The sum included in the so-called social investment law is significantly lower than the 23.4 trillion pesos ($6.12 billion) sought by the government in April, before it was forced to withdraw the proposal following protests and lawmaker opposition.
