Colombia’s consumer price index (CPI) in September 2026 rose 6.29% year-over-year, slightly above the 6.24% annual rate recorded in August 2026, according to data updated on 7 October 2026. The move marks a modest uptick in inflation and suggests a pause in the recent disinflationary path.
On a year-over-year basis, the September figure reflects how prices have evolved compared with the same month a year earlier, while the August reading compared prices in that month to August of the previous year. The small acceleration between August and September will likely draw attention from market participants monitoring whether price pressures are stabilizing or beginning to re-intensify after prior easing.
The latest data point adds nuance to Colombia’s inflation outlook, as investors and policymakers assess whether the 6.29% annual rate signals a temporary fluctuation or the start of a more persistent shift away from the previous downward trajectory in consumer prices.
