Colombia’s inflation was exceptionally high during the early 1990s, peaking at 30.3% in 1991, driven by political instability, fiscal deficits, and structural economic issues. Throughout the 1990s, inflation gradually declined, reaching 10.9% in 1999, as the government implemented monetary reforms and fiscal adjustments to stabilize the economy. By the early 2000s, inflation had fallen further, reaching 5.0% in 2005, indicating the success of Colombia's inflation-targeting policies.
In recent years, inflation rose significantly to 11.7% in 2023, primarily due to global supply chain disruptions and rising commodity prices. The forecast anticipates inflation decreasing to 3.0% by 2026, as external pressures ease and economic policies stabilize. This trajectory underscores Colombia’s commitment to maintaining macroeconomic stability despite external challenges.
