Colombia

Colombia climbed 2 places to 37th in 2025, just behind Denmark, but the move owed more to the currency than to output. US$ GDP rose 8.8% to US$457.4 billion while real growth was +2.6%; the difference was mostly exchange-rate and price effects.

Services make up 58.5% of output and industry 21.8%, with agriculture and manufacturing each at 9.9% of GDP. Inflation was 5.1% and unemployment 8.3%. Government gross debt stands at 59.9% of GDP, according to the IMF.

The 4th largest economy in Latin America & Caribbean is 4.6 times its 2000 size of US$99.9 billion and about the size of the San Jose, CA metro area. GDP per capita is US$8,562, ranking 94th of 196, and $22,640 international dollars in PPP terms, 93rd. The IMF projects GDP of US$727.4 billion by 2030, up 59%, enough to lift Colombia to 31st.
