FX.co ★ Colombia’s Import Growth Surges to 7.10% in December, Up Sharply from November Lows

Colombia’s imports recorded a sharp year-over-year rebound in December 2025, with the growth rate reaching 7.10%, according to data updated on 17 February 2026. This marks a significant acceleration from November 2025, when import growth had nearly stalled at just 0.30% compared with the same month a year earlier.

The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the December 2025 reading reflects the change in imports relative to December 2024, and the November 2025 figure is measured against November 2024. The strong December result suggests a marked pickup in external demand or domestic activity toward the end of the year, following a period of almost flat import growth in November.

While the data do not specify the drivers behind the surge, the shift from 0.30% to 7.10% within a single month underscores a notable turnaround in Colombia’s trade dynamics as 2025 came to a close.
