Colombia’s industrial sector moved back into positive territory in February 2026, with industrial production expanding 1.4% year-on-year, according to data updated on 16 April 2026. This marks a clear improvement from January 2026, when output had declined 0.5% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The year-on-year comparison shows that the industrial sector has shifted from contraction to modest growth within a month, suggesting a stabilization in production conditions after a weak start to the year. The current 1.4% increase in February reflects how output in that month fared against February of the previous year, while the earlier -0.5% figure captured January’s performance versus January of the prior year.
The latest reading will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as an early signal of momentum in Colombia’s real economy. A sustained recovery in industrial production would be a supportive indicator for broader economic growth in 2026.
