In a turn of events, Colombia's retail sales growth has decelerated significantly in November 2025, as reported in the latest economic update dated January 23, 2026. The November figure indicates a 7.5% increase compared to the same month last year, which is a noticeable drop from October's 10.0% growth rate.
This decline in growth suggests a shift in consumer spending patterns, as the nation experiences varying economic pressures. The year-over-year comparison reveals how the November 2025 sales figures have changed relative to transactions from November 2024, emphasizing a slower pace of expansion.
Economic analysts are closely monitoring the implications of this slowdown, as Colombia continues to navigate its economic landscape amidst both domestic challenges and global economic uncertainties. Stakeholders in the retail sector are especially focused on understanding the underlying factors contributing to this dip, as efforts to revitalize growth in the coming months are anticipated.
