Colombia’s Monthly Inflation Cools in March as CPI Growth Slows to 0.78%

Colombia’s consumer price inflation eased in March 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.78%, down from a 1.08% increase in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 9 April 2026, signal a moderation in short‑term price pressures after a stronger monthly gain earlier in the year.

On a month‑over‑month basis, the current figure reflects a slower pace of price growth compared with the previous period, when February’s 1.08% rise measured against January’s levels. In contrast, March’s 0.78% outcome now serves as the new reference point for assessing inflation momentum going into the second quarter.

The comparison underscores a cooling in headline inflation dynamics, as the March reading marks a notable deceleration from February’s month‑over‑month surge. Market participants and policymakers will likely watch upcoming releases closely to determine whether this slowdown in price growth proves temporary or signals a more sustained easing in inflationary pressures.
