Colombia Davivienda Manufacturing PMI
The Colombia Manufacturing PMI is based on data compiled from replies to questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 350 manufacturers. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP. Survey responses are collected mid-month and denote the direction of change compared with the previous month. A diffusion index is calculated for each survey indicator. The index is the sum of the percentage of ‘higher’ responses and half the percentage of ‘unchanged’ responses. The indices vary between 0 and 100, with a reading above 50 indicating an overall increase and below 50 an overall decrease. The diffusion indices are then seasonally adjusted using an in-house method developed by IHS Markit. The Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is a weighted average of the following five diffusion indices: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15%) and Stocks of Purchases (10%). For the PMI calculation the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction to the other indices.

Colombia's Manufacturing PMI Slips in April
Colombia's Davivienda Manufacturing PMI eased to 50.8 in April 2026 from 51.4 in March, marked by the first production decline in over a year. Manufacturers reduced buying levels, as new orders growth slowed, amid subdued consumer demand, and costs rose to a three-year high, mainly for chemicals, hydrocarbons, packaging, plastics, rubber and textiles. Additionally, higher supplier delivery times and customs-related disruptions quickened the rate of inventory depletion to a two and a half year low. On employment, fixed-term staff were mainly hired, although overall job creation stayed modest. Business confidence deteriorated to its lowest level in nearly two years, as manufacturers cited rising competition, inflationary pressures, and softer demand as key concerns.

Colombia's Manufacturing PMI Eases in February
