Colombia’s export growth decelerated markedly in April 2026, with the year‑on‑year change easing to 11.70%, down from a robust 20.90% in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 03 June 2026, underscore a significant loss of momentum in external sales after a strong start to the year.
Both readings are based on year‑over‑year comparisons, measuring April and March 2026 exports against the same months a year earlier. While exports continued to expand in April, the sharp step down from March’s pace suggests that external demand, price dynamics, or base effects may be weighing more heavily on Colombia’s trade performance as the second quarter begins. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming data to see whether April marks the start of a broader cooling trend in the country’s export sector or a temporary moderation following earlier strength.
