国际货币基金组织（IMF）警告称，哥伦比亚的财政状况不可持续，其对该国公共财政的评估加剧，因为新政府正寻求该机构帮助以稳定账目。
The International Monetary Fund warned that Colombia’s fiscal situation is unsustainable, sharpening its assessment of the country’s public finances as the new government seeks the lender’s help to stabilize its accounts.
IMF西半球部门主管尼杰尔·查克（Nigel Chalk）周五在曼谷表示，2025年哥伦比亚的主要财政赤字约占国内生产总值（GDP）的3.5%，而公共债务约占GDP的60%，且在上升。
Colombia ran a primary deficit of about 3.5% of gross domestic product in 2025, while public debt stands at roughly 60% of GDP and is rising, IMF Western Hemisphere Department Director Nigel Chalk said Friday in Bangkok.
“这是一个不可持续、不可维持的局面，”查克说。“我们认为该国需要全力以赴降低债务。”
“This is not a sustainable, tenable situation,” Chalk said. “We do think that the country needs a concerted effort to bring down debt.”
总统阿贝尔·德拉埃斯里亚（Abelardo de la Espriella）的政府已与基金组织就应对该国财政部长所描述的“哥伦比亚历史上最差”的财政状况展开讨论。
President Abelardo de la Espriella’s government has entered discussions with the Fund over potential support to address a fiscal situation that the nation’s finance minister has described as the worst in Colombia’s history.
IMF已与哥伦比亚当局就“选项和策略”进行讨论，并计划于11月初派团前往该国，继续相关工作，查克表示。他称政府“高度致力于”解决财政问题。
The IMF has been discussing “options and strategies” with Colombian authorities and will send a team to the country in early November to continue those efforts, Chalk said. He said the government is “very committed” to addressing the fiscal situation.
哥伦比亚财政部此前表示，11月的技术性任务将继续探讨包括Article IV磋商在内的多项内容，并考虑改善该国融资条件的潜在工具。此行将在近期多次会晤后进行。
Colombia’s Finance Ministry said earlier this week that the November technical mission will continue exploratory discussions that include an Article IV consultation and potential instruments to improve the country’s financing conditions. The visit will follow a series of meetings between the government and the IMF in recent weeks.
查克表示，IMF预计哥伦比亚今年及明年经济将增长约2.25%，但认为该国具备更强的增长潜力。“该国的潜力远超此数，”他说。“该国应增长得更快。”
Chalk said the IMF expects Colombia’s economy to expand about 2.25% this year and next, but sees it capable of stronger growth. “The country’s potential is way more than that,” he said. “The country should be growing much faster.”
财政部长米格尔·冈萨雷斯（Miguel Gómez）预计国会将批准2027年的约2000亿美元预算，若无财政调整，预计赤字将超过GDP的9%。近期哥伦比亚资产（包括债券和信用违约掉期）的表现已劣于同类国家，投资者对政府的财政计划日益焦虑。
Finance Minister Miguel Gómez is expecting congress to approve a 2027 budget of about $200 billion, with a deficit forecast to exceed 9% of GDP without a fiscal adjustment. Colombian assets, including bonds and credit default swaps have deteriorated more than its peers in recent weeks as investors are growing anxious about the government’s fiscal plan.
Chalk表示，修复公共财政的推动力来自政府本身，而国际货币基金组织则处于支持角色。
Chalk said the push to repair the public finances is being driven by the government itself, with the IMF in a supporting role.
