Colombia Issuance Director Departs

Patricia Moreno has left her position as deputy director for international capital markets at Colombia’s finance ministry, according to a ministry official. She has joined electricity generation company Emgesa after leaving the ministry in October. There is no official word on a replacement, with Miguel Angel Gomez said to be managing the position in the interim. Moreno had replaced Maria Catalina Escobar in the position, which coordinates the sovereign’s international bond offerings, in September of 2009. A Hacienda spokeswoman does not respond to request for comment on a replacement.
