In March 2025, Colombia's annual inflation rate decreased to 5.09%, below market expectations of 5.15% and a four-month peak of 5.28% in February.

Transportation (+4.88% vs. +5.64% in February), housing (+6.29% vs. +6.58%), restaurants and hotels (+7.34% vs. +7.73%), health (+5.3% vs. +5.42%), and education (+7.27% vs. +7.38%) all saw slower rate increases, resulting in the lowest reading since October 2021. Food prices, however, rose more quickly (+4.67% vs. +4.56%).

Consumer prices rose by 0.52% on a monthly basis, which was nearly in line with the prediction of 0.58% and a slowdown from February's 1.14% gain, the biggest since February 2023. (Source: Trading Economics)
