What Colombia's economic profile is telling you
Colombia's economy grew by 2.6 percent in 2025, while annual CPI inflation remained above 5 percent. The modeled unemployment estimate was 8.3 percent, so the labor-market picture remained softer than the headline growth rate alone might suggest.
Colombia ran a merchandise deficit in the matched 2024 WTO data. The United States was the largest export destination, while the United States and China supplied roughly half of imports between them.
Reading the macro data
GDP measures current-dollar economic size. Real growth tracks output after price effects, while CPI inflation and unemployment describe separate price and labor-market conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or presented as a current-account balance.
