Crisis

The Dane confirmed yesterday the slow economic growth with which 2024 started. Colombia’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP, advanced 0.7% in the first quarter of the year. The figure for the first three months was the lowest for a first quarter since the covid-19 pandemic.

Colombia is going through a time of economic uncertainty due to, among other things, the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the Index of Economic Monitoring (ISE) of the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), the economy contracted 0.3% in the third quarter of 2023 (July, August, September) and had a new drop of 0.4% in October.
