No individual review. It rests on 18 claims from 8 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 5 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - The description specifies 'minimum wage growth for 2027' but does not clarify whether this refers to the nominal minimum wage (salario mínimo mensual legal vigente) percentage increase decree or another wage measure. - The description uses DANE's annual CPI variation for December 2026 but does not specify whether this is the year-over-year change published for December 2026 (i.e., December 2026 vs December 2025) or a full-year 2026 average. - No explicit official source URL or document is cited for the minimum wage decree, leaving room for dispute if multiple wage categories exist. - The end date is 2027-02-15, which assumes both the 2027 minimum wage decree and DANE's December 2026 CPI will be published before this date — DANE typically releases December CPI in early January, and the wage decree is usually signed in December or January, so timing may be tight but generally feasible. - The word 'strictly above' is used in the description, clarifying the threshold is exclusive, but the market title says 'above 4.00 pp' which is consistent — no ambiguity here beyond confirming the strict inequality. ## Publication history - Published 11 November 2026; research dated 11 November 2026. ## Since the previous brief This is the first published brief for this event.
