Overview

Colombia’s gross savings rate has slipped to 14.77 percent in 2025, placing the country 124th in the world and marking a modest recovery from the all‑time trough of 12.38 percent recorded in 2022. The indicator peaked at 22.97 percent in 1991, a level that has not been approached in the subsequent three decades, reflecting structural shifts in investment patterns and fiscal policy. Over the 58‑year series beginning in 1968, when savings stood at 16.89 percent, the long‑run trend has been downward, with recent figures converging toward those of regional peers such as Brazil (14.22 percent) and Pakistan (14.27 percent). The modest rebound after 2022 suggests that higher domestic investment and improved current‑account balances could lift the savings ratio, but sustaining any upward momentum will depend on fiscal consolidation, private‑sector confidence and the capacity to generate higher returns on capital.
