Colombia Banking Sector Report 2025-2026

In 2024, the Colombian economy began a recovery process, while annual inflation continued to decline, accompanied by a cautious easing of the monetary policy. Amid lower lending rates, credit disbursements showed a slight rebound. Loan quality indicators continue to reflect high levels of delinquency compared to the five-year average, but recent figures suggest improvements relative to the beginning of 2024. This improvement in profitability is mainly explained by investment gains and lower provisioning expenses, although this has been partially offset by reduced interest income due to the slow growth of the loan portfolio. Meanwhile, with regulatory authorities and financial institutions continuing to adopt the Basel III Framework, the sector remains robust, with solvency and liquidity risk indicators staying above regulatory limits.
