Colombia's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) reached 19.9% in December 2025, up 2.9 percentage points from November. The rise was mainly due to improved perceptions of economic conditions. Compared to December 2024, the index increased by 23.3 percentage points.

Colombia's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) continued strengthening in December 2025, reaching levels unseen in over eight years, according to Fedesarrollo's Consumer Opinion Survey. The index closed the month at 19.9%, a 2.9 percentage point increase from November's 17.0%.

"This result was due to a 5.0 percentage point increase in the Economic Conditions Index and a 1.5 percentage point rise in the Consumer Expectations Index," stated the Fedesarrollo report. Compared to December 2024's -3.4%, the index grew by 23.3 percentage points.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the CCI rose 15.3 percentage points from the previous quarter, moving from 1.5% to 16.8%.

By cities, Bogotá led with 9.4 points, followed by Cali at -0.2, Bucaramanga at -2.9, Medellín at -10.1, and Barranquilla at -11.2. These figures indicate a gradual recovery in Colombian households' economic perceptions at year-end.
