The World Bank maintained its growth projection for Colombia at 2.3% in 2026: the country is above the regional average

The World Bank has updated its economic growth projections for Latin American countries, keeping Colombia's estimated expansion steady for 2026 while sharply lowering its forecast for Argentina.

According to the latest edition of the World Bank's Economic Update for Latin America and the Caribbean, Colombia's growth projection for 2026 remains unchanged at 2.3 percent. This rate places the country above the regional average, though it still falls below the figures expected for several other economies in the region.

In contrast, the institution significantly downgraded its economic growth outlook for Argentina for the current year. The projected expansion for Argentina was reduced from the 3.6 percent estimated in June down to 2.1 percent.
