Colombia recorded a sharp acceleration in import growth in June 2026, with the year‑over‑year indicator rising to 27.00%, according to data updated on 19 August 2026. This marks a significant jump from May 2026, when imports had increased 10.60% compared with May of the previous year.
Both figures are calculated on a year‑over‑year basis, comparing each month with the same month a year earlier. The move from 10.60% in May to 27.00% in June points to a notable strengthening in Colombia’s inbound trade flows as the second half of 2026 approached, underscoring a substantial upswing in external demand or domestic absorption of imported goods during the period.
