Inflation in Colombia
Colombia experienced generally moderate inflation over the last decade that aligned with its central bank's target of 2.0%–4.0%. However, inflation rose into double digits in 2022–2023 due to large currency depreciation, high global commodity prices plus pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions. Inflation has since eased, tempered by elevated interest rates and a stronger currency.
In the year 2024, the inflation in Colombia was 6.61%, compared to 2.90% in 2014 and 11.74% in 2023. It averaged 5.55% over the last decade. For more inflation information, visit our dedicated page.
