Colombia’s consumer price inflation picked up in March 2026, interrupting the previous month’s easing trend. Year-over-year CPI reached 5.56% in March, up from 5.29% in February 2026, according to data updated on 9 April 2026.
Both figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels with the same month a year earlier. The move from 5.29% to 5.56% suggests that price pressures in the Colombian economy intensified slightly in March after having moderated in February, indicating that the disinflation path remains fragile.
With inflation still well above the lower single digits, the latest data will likely be closely watched by market participants and policymakers assessing the timing and pace of any future monetary policy adjustments in Colombia.
