Colombia FDI hits $885M in Sept, up 44% YoY but below $1B for 17th month

Colombia's foreign direct investment reached US$885 million in September, a 44% year-on-year increase, yet remains below the US$1 billion monthly threshold for the 17th consecutive month. The data suggests a partial recovery in investor appetite, but sustained weakness relative to historical levels persists. This matters as FDI is a key driver of growth and external financing for Colombia.
