2026-10-29 14:13 By Larissa Caser 1 min. read

Colombia’s industrial confidence indicator rose by 2.5 percentage points to 8.3% in September 2026, up from the previous month, reaching its highest level since September 2025.

The improvement was driven by a 6 percentage point decline in inventory levels and a 2.9 percentage point increase in current order volumes.

However, the gains were partially offset by a 1.6 percentage point drop in production expectations for the next quarter.

Despite the monthly improvement, industrial confidence remained below its year-earlier level, falling by 0.7 percentage points from 9% in September 2025.
