This is the status of Colombia's Economic Traffic Light: sector indicators at the end of the first half of 2025.

At the close of the first half of 2025, one of the economic indicators monitored by EL TIEMPO every three months for the Economic Traffic Light System went from yellow to red. Thus, five of the 15 indicators reviewed are in red; four are in yellow, and six are in green.
For an indicator to be red, its value shows a decline; those growing less than 3.1 percent are yellow , while those growing more than 3.1 percent are green.
The 3.1 percent figure corresponds to the trend growth of gross domestic product (GDP) estimated by the Autonomous Committee of the Fiscal Rule (CARF). The CARF set that figure at that level in its most recent update published on April 30.
As explained by CARF, trend GDP is the level of real output that should be achieved with the economy's structural growth capacity in the medium and long term, without taking into account cyclical or transitory variations.
The Economic Traffic Light displays the most recent data available on the indicators being monitored, giving an idea of the evolution of economic activity as the first half of the year concludes.
The data on total production performance, with final results for June, will be released in mid-August by DANE when it presents its report on GDP at the end of the semester.
Below, and taking these criteria into account, the Economic Traffic Light is presented with the most recent data available:
This is what the Economic Traffic Light looks like at the end of the first half of the year.eltiempo
