Colombia’s real GDP growth has moderated to 2.52 % in 2025, placing it 111th globally, and aligning closely with peers such as Chile at 2.52 % and the Marshall Islands at 2.53 %. The slowdown follows an extraordinary swing from a historic peak of 10.80 % in 2021, when post‑pandemic recovery and strong commodity prices propelled expansion, to an all‑time trough of –7.19 % in 2020, the deepest contraction recorded in the 65‑year series that began in 1961 with a growth rate of 5.09 %. Over the long run, Colombia’s growth trajectory has been shaped by fluctuations in oil exports, fiscal stimulus, and external demand, while recent policy emphasis on diversification and infrastructure aims to sustain a more stable expansion. If reforms to improve productivity and broaden the export base take hold, the country could gradually lift its growth rate above the current mid‑single‑digit range.
