Colombia’s president Juan Manuel Santos on Monday said the country’s economy is doing well, but warned of the possible impacts of a fiscal crisis in the United States.
In an interview with RCN Radio, Santos said he hoped U.S. leaders come to an agreement before their economy goes over the so-called “fiscal cliff.”
“They should be aware that this is not just a domestic issue, but an issue that has international repercussions. Nobody can hide,” said Santos.
Santos went on to say that “fortunately our overall economy is doing well. I think this year we ended up with a growth of around four percent. Hopefully it will be even higher, but it will be close to four percent.”
