Colombia · Foreign Investment
Key Facts
—Colombia’s Foreign Direct Investment registered $921 million in April. The Banco de la República published the balance figure as part of its updated cambiaria balance. The reading represents an 8.7% decline from April 2025, when FDI reached $1.009 billion.
—Oil and mining concentrated $741 million — about 80% of total FDI. The extractive sectors continue to dominate foreign-capital inflows into Colombia despite the broader macroeconomic pressures and the Petro administration’s stance toward fossil-fuel exploration.
—Other sectors received $180 million combined. The non-extractive economy continues to attract limited foreign investment relative to the country’s economic scale. The contrast with the oil and mining concentration highlights the structural composition challenge of Colombian FDI.
