Colombia Business Confidence

Colombia's business confidence fell to 5.3 points in August 2025 from 6.7 points in July 2025, a 20.9% decrease. This decline stemmed from weakening demand, shown by rising inventories and falling current orders. Production expectations for the next quarter improved by 5.0 percentage points. Inflation remained elevated with headline inflation at 5.10% and core inflation near 5.3%. The central bank maintained its interest rates due to persistent inflation. Economic growth relies on consumption, not exports or investment. Colombia's record low business confidence was -35.8 points in April 2020 and record high was 20.4 points in September 2021.
