on the up-and-up

Hmmm...

From today's El Tiempo:

"The dollar is down; tourism is up; unemployment, sexual activity, the sale of motorbikes and embezzlement of public funds are all up."

A confusing picture, but one thing is clear: there has never been a better time to be a sexually-active embezzler who is shorting the dollar, especially if you own a coconut stand. It's all going their way at the moment.

Well, Colombia. I only know one Colombian, and she's awesome, so I'm going to assume this is good news.

*Updated to reflect humility in spelling; turns out Colombia doesn't have a 'u' in it.

The Columbian I know is awesome, but not a sexually-active embezzler who is shorting the dollar, and who owns a coconut stand. At least as far as I know.
But perhaps you're thinking of someone else.
