Colombia’s exports recorded a sharp acceleration at the start of 2026, with year-over-year growth reaching 12.60% in January 2026, according to data updated on 3 March 2026. This marks a strong improvement from December 2025, when exports were up just 1.30% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring how exports in a given month perform against the same month in the previous year. The “previous” indicator reflects December 2025’s change versus December 2024, while the “current” indicator captures January 2026’s change compared with January 2025. The jump from 1.30% to 12.60% suggests a notable strengthening in Colombia’s external sector momentum as the new year began.
