FX.co ★ Colombia’s Trade Deficit Widens to $2.80 Billion in July 2026

Colombia’s trade deficit deepened in July 2026, with the balance of trade in goods reaching -$2.798 billion, compared with a revised deficit of -$2.161 billion in June 2026. The latest figures, updated on 21 September 2026, indicate a further deterioration in the country’s external balance month-on-month.

The widening gap suggests that Colombia’s imports continued to outpace exports during July, increasing pressure on the trade position in the second half of the year. While the data release does not specify the sectoral breakdown, the move from June to July highlights growing imbalances that may be closely watched by policymakers, investors, and currency markets as they assess the outlook for Colombia’s external accounts and broader economic stability.
