Colombia Retail Sales MoM
Colombia's retail sales month-over-month increased by 0.1% in August 2025. This is the lowest growth in five months, down from 1.8% in July 2025. The slowdown is attributed to a decline in consumer confidence which fell to -2.4% in August from 5.3% in July. This drop was driven by weaker assessments of economic conditions and consumer expectations. A tightening credit environment also contributed as evidenced by reduced willingness to purchase durable goods and vehicles. Colombia's record low retail sales month-over-month was -35.69% in April 2020 and record high was 26.49% in May 2020.
