TL;DR
- Colombia's economic growth is projected at 2.5% in 2025 and 2.7% in 2026.
- Private consumption is the main driver of expected growth, supported by real wages, remittances, and a low unemployment rate (8.6%).
- Gross fixed capital formation (investment) remains 12% below pre-pandemic levels, acting as a significant brake on economic performance.
- Fiscal challenges are projected to increase public debt to 63% of GDP by 2026, limiting the state's capacity to incentivize private investment.
- Falling Brent crude prices are expected to negatively impact exports, reducing foreign exchange flows.
- The insurance sector shows solid performance, with premiums growing 3.1% in 2025, led by health and life segments.
- The pension reform is expected to reduce the role of private funds and affect investment income and annuity sales.
- Low investment is identified as the Achilles' heel of the Colombian economy, restricting its potential for higher and sustainable growth.
