Colombia’s Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) climbed by 1.0 point in March 2026 to 19.3%, driven mainly by a 2.4‑point increase in the Economic Conditions Index, which reached 8.7%. Within this component, willingness to purchase durable goods rose sharply to 10.6% from 2.9%, even as perceptions of the current economic situation weakened slightly, slipping to 6.8% from 9.7%.

The Consumer Expectations Index was unchanged at 26.3%. Households grew more optimistic about their own future, with that sub-index rising to 43.9% from 39.3%. However, views on the country’s economic outlook deteriorated, edging down to 19.7% from 21.3%, while broader expectations for the overall economy fell to 15.4% from 18.3%.

On an annual basis, the CCI showed a substantial improvement: compared with March 2025, when it stood at -7.1%, the index gained 26.4 points.
