Colombia's Davivienda Manufacturing PMI experienced a slight decline to 52.6 in December 2025, down from November's 54.0, though it continues to indicate expansion and remains above its long-term average. Factory orders demonstrated significant growth, driven by competitive pricing, steady demand, approved projects, and successful trade fairs. Despite the slowdown to a three-month low, the figures remain among the most robust in the last two years. Output growth diminished more than new orders but continued to be strong by historical standards. Input cost pressures were minimal in December. Manufacturers expressed optimism regarding 2026, attributing their confidence to effective advertising strategies, a strong order pipeline, investments in technology, and plans for expanding warehouse facilities. Business confidence hovered near its peak level in almost four and a half years.
