FX.co ★ Colombia Consumer Confidence Falls to Six-Month Low

Colombia’s Consumer Confidence Index dropped by 5.6 percentage points in April 2026, falling to 13.7% from March and reaching its lowest level in six months. The decline was mainly driven by a 6.4 percentage point fall in the Consumer Expectations Index, which slipped to 19.9%, and a 4.2 percentage point decrease in the Economic Conditions Index, which fell to 4.5%.

Consumer expectations weakened as households became less optimistic about their future finances: the indicator for expected household financial conditions declined to 40.2% from 43.9%. Perceptions of the country’s economic outlook deteriorated even more sharply, plunging to 9.2% from 19.7%, while broader expectations for the economy as a whole fell to 10.2% from 15.4%.

At the same time, the Economic Conditions Index came under pressure from a reduced willingness to purchase durable goods, which dropped to 3.3% from 10.6%, and from slightly weaker assessments of households’ current economic situation, which eased to 5.7% from 6.8%.

Despite the monthly decline, the overall Consumer Confidence Index was still 22.3 percentage points higher than in April 2025.
