Colombia inflation likely slowed in May, but up in full-year 2025: Reuters poll
BOGOTA, June 4 (Reuters) - Colombia's consumer price increases likely slowed slightly in May thanks to reduced pressure on food costs and the appreciation of the peso currency, a Reuters survey showed on Wednesday, though inflation expectations for 2025 overall grew. According to the median estimate of the 19 analysts surveyed, inflation likely rose 0.4% in May, below the 0.66% rise in April. Projections ranged between 0.15% and 0.54%. "During May there were pressures on services associated with the continued indexation of rents, also of regulated goods, especially public services," said Carlos Alberto Velasquez, head of economic investigations at Alianza brokerage. "However, pressures on food and goods were kept contained in response to the favorable behavior of the exchange rate," he added, referring to the 2.86% appreciation of the peso against the dollar. If analysts' median prediction is met, 12-month inflation through May will have reached 5.12%, well above the central bank's long-term target of 3%. Inflation expectations for the close of this year were up in the poll to 4.8%, from 4.55% in the previous survey, which would mark the fifth consecutive year of annual inflation being above the target. Expectations for the close of 2026 were also up in the poll, to 3.75%, from 3.61% in the previous survey. Inflation was a top factor in the April decision by Colombia's central bank board to cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 9.25%, surprising the market. Inflation figures for May will be published on June 9.

Holyoke drive supports domestic violence survivors
HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) – The Polish National Credit Union is partnering with a local nonprofit to collect essential items for domestic violence survivors. Domestic violence is a prevalent issue that affects many individuals and families. The Polish National Credit Union has recognized this issue and is taking action to support those in need. They teamed up with the non-profit Alianza and have set up a collection drop-off at their Holyoke location on 270 Westfield Road. This is an opportunity for the community to come together and make a difference by donating essential items for domestic violence survivors. They are looking for toiletries, personal care products, and household necessities to individuals and families transitioning to safety. 'It is a way of saying, well, somebody does care about what I'm going through, someone does believe what I'm going through, and this would be a great help.' Every week, Alianza sees about 60 requests a week from those under immediate danger or fleeing from abuse — looking for emergency placement shelter. You will have the opportunity to show your support and donate until the end of April. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
