2026-03-13 15:10 By Larissa Caser 1 min. read

Colombia's Consumer Confidence edged up to 18.3% in February 2026, up from 18.2% in January.

The Consumer Expectations Index increased (26.3% versus 23.8%), reflecting a stronger sentiment, over the next 12 months, of the general economic outlook (18.3% versus 13.8%) and expectations for the national economy (21.3% versus 17.6%), while optimism about future household conditions worsened slightly (39.3% versus 40.2%).

However, this increase was partially offset by a drop in the Economic Conditions Index (6.3% versus 9.7%), with decreases in the assessments of current household finances (9.7% versus 13.3%) and decreases in the willingness to purchase a home (-24.4% versus -22%), durable goods (2.9% versus 6.1%) and vehicles (25.9% versus 32%).

Compared to February 2025, overall consumer confidence increased by 30.3 percentage points, up from -12%.
