FX.co ★ Colombia’s Import Growth Accelerates to 31.7% YoY in August 2026

Colombia’s import growth surged in August 2026, with year-over-year imports rising by 31.70%, according to the latest data updated on 21 October 2026. This marks a sharp acceleration from July 2026, when imports increased 22.90% compared with the same month a year earlier.

The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the current August reading reflects the change in imports relative to August of the previous year, and the July reading reflects the change versus July a year earlier. The stronger August performance signals a notable pickup in external demand or domestic activity driving higher import needs as the third quarter progresses.
