This paper evaluates the performance of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models in forecasting the USD/COP exchange rate using daily financial and macroeconomic data from 2016 to 2020. The model includes 24 explanatory variables grouped into six financial categories. Results show that LSTM achieves a 6.9% forecast error, outperforming traditional ARIMA models (10.9%). These findings highlight the advantages of deep learning for capturing nonlinear dependencies and managing high-dimensional data in volatile emerging markets.

摘要

This paper evaluates the performance of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models in forecasting the USD/COP exchange rate using daily financial and macroeconomic data from 2016 to 2020. The model includes 24 explanatory variables grouped into six financial categories. Results show that LSTM achieves a 6.9% forecast error, outperforming traditional ARIMA models (10.9%). These findings highlight the advantages of deep learning for capturing nonlinear dependencies and managing high-dimensional data in volatile emerging markets.
