Colombia’s import growth eased in February 2026, with the year-over-year indicator slowing to 7.80%, down from 9.70% in January 2026. The data, updated on 21 April 2026, show that while imports continued to expand compared with a year earlier, the pace of that expansion moderated at the start of the year.
Both the current and previous readings are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring how imports in a given month changed relative to the same month a year earlier. The February figure thus reflects the change in Colombian imports compared with February of the prior year, while January’s 9.70% reading compares imports with January a year earlier. The deceleration may signal a subtle cooling in external demand or domestic consumption, and will be closely watched by analysts tracking Colombia’s trade dynamics and broader economic momentum.
