Ecopetrol, Colombia's state-owned oil company, projects Q2 2026 profits between 4 trillion and 6 trillion COP, potentially reaching a four-year high and returning to Q4 2022 performance levels. This projection, while subject to market volatility, indicates a significant recovery in operational performance. The Colombian banking sector also reported substantial profit growth in May 2026, suggesting broader economic recovery.
