The National Administrative Department of Statistics (Dane) reported that Colombia's annual inflation for February 2026 was 5.29%, a slight slowdown from January's 5.35%. The monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) variation stood at 1.08%, driven by rises in education and food. This figure remains above the Central Bank's target range of 3%.
In January 2026, Colombia's unemployment rate stood at 10.9%, the lowest for a first month since 2001, according to the Dane. While 324,000 new jobs were created, 60% were self-employment positions. This indicates employment improvement, but raises concerns about job quality.
