Colombie Balance Commerciale

Colombia's trade deficit widened to $1.673 billion in April 2025, up from $1.431 billion in the same month last year, marking the highest negative level since November 2024. Exports sank 6.5% year-on-year to $4.121 billion, mainly due to a sharp 33.0% drop in foreign sales of fuels and extractive industry products. In turn, imports fell a slower 0.8% year-on-year to $5.794 billion, with the decline largely driven by a 1.7% drop in the industrials group. Heightened uncertainty stemming from the US tariff war, global tensions, and shifts in OPEC-related dynamics have redrawn international trade flows.
