FX.co ★ Colombia’s Retail Sales Growth Accelerates to 9.7% in September, Up from 7.3% in August

Colombia’s retail sector showed stronger momentum in September 2026, with year-over-year retail sales growth rising to 9.7%, up from 7.3% in August 2026. The data, updated on 13 November 2026, highlight a marked acceleration in consumer activity as measured against the same period a year earlier.

Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s retail turnover to the corresponding month in the prior year. The pickup from August to September suggests that consumer spending in Colombia continued to firm, providing a positive signal for domestic demand heading into the final quarter of 2026.
