Webinar Programs
Live and recorded educational sessions on inflation, price dynamics, and economic analysis. Structured for clarity at every level.
Webinars on inflation and everyday economics
Each webinar program is self-contained and designed to be understood without prior economics knowledge. Sessions build conceptual literacy progressively.
A clear introduction to what inflation means, how the DANE calculates the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and what the monthly figures actually tell us about the economy.
Examines how food price inflation works, which products drive volatility, and how the DANE's basic basket methodology relates to what households actually spend at markets and supermarkets.
Explores the concept of real versus nominal wages, how inflation erodes purchasing power over time, and how to read the difference between income growth and actual economic gain.
Additional webinar topics
Rental costs behave differently from other price categories. This session explains rent inflation mechanics, how housing costs are weighted in the CPI basket, and what drives the gap between rental prices in Cali, Bogotá, and other Colombian cities.
Fuel subsidies, SOAT costs, public transit fares, and electricity tariffs — this webinar unpacks how energy and transport costs are regulated, how they interact with general inflation, and what changes in global oil prices mean for Colombian households.
Healthcare and education costs often rise faster than general inflation. This session examines how these categories are tracked in the CPI, what drives their price behavior, and how households can better understand the cost trajectory of these essential services.
An explanation of monetary policy tools — interest rate decisions, inflation targets, and open market operations — presented in plain language. Participants come away understanding how the central bank's actions filter through to everyday credit costs, savings conditions, and price levels.
