The implementation of an eventual peace deal between Colombia’s FARC rebel group and the government could cost the country over $100 billion, reported newspaper El Tiempo on Monday.
Since the peace talks began in Havana, Cuba in November 2012, various state bodies have offered their estimations, never exceeding $44 billion, of how much it will really cost to implement the agreements reached between the government and the FARC.
The government has remained neutral in the matter by not yet releasing an official figure.

"The government has remained neutral in the matter by not yet releasing an official figure."
Can't see how they are remaining 'neutral'........more like 'tight lipped' I think.

By the sounds of things whatever it costs is going to come out of the defence budget, which is worrying.
