La inversión extranjera directa alcanzó US$3.794 millones entre enero y marzo de 2026, un aumento del 63,4% respecto al trimestre anterior.

Según datos del Banco de la República, el crecimiento se debió principalmente a los sectores no extractivos, que captaron US$3.166 millones. Este segmento registró un alza del 49% frente al último trimestre de 2025.

Las cifras reflejan mayor dinamismo en la industria manufacturera, el comercio, los servicios, la tecnología y el turismo. El presidente Gustavo Petro afirmó que los resultados evidencian el fortalecimiento de la capacidad productiva nacional.

La ministra de Comercio, Industria y Turismo, Diana Marcela Morales Rojas, señaló que estos recursos impulsan la industria, fortalecen el comercio y contribuyen a la generación de empleo.
