Colombia liquidates MinIgualdad, redistributes functions across four agencies

The Colombian government has begun liquidating the Ministry of Equality (MinIgualdad), created under President Gustavo Petro, with its functions, programs, and resources to be transferred to the Interior, Treasury, Justice ministries and the DPS over a one-year period. This marks a reversal of a flagship Petro initiative, signaling a shift in administrative priorities. The move is a domestic political development with no direct market impact.
