DANE reported that manufacturing industrial production fell 0.5% in January 2026 compared to January 2025, with real sales down 0.7%. This marks two consecutive months of production contraction and three for sales.
DANE released results from the 2025 National Quality of Life Survey, showing 53.3 million people across nearly 19 million households, averaging 2.82 people per household. Vaupés and Atlántico have the largest average sizes, while Putumayo has the smallest.

DANE director Piedad Urdinola clarified discrepancies between her agency's employment figures and those from Ugpp, citing different sources and methodologies. This follows criticism from Andi, which claims half a million formal jobs lost since 2023. DANE measures the labor market through direct surveys, while Andi relies on social security contributors.
