Northeast region and Bogotá were the only areas with economic growth in the third quarter, according to Banco de la República
According to Banco de la República's Regional Economic Pulse, only the northeast region —Santander, Norte de Santander, Boyacá and Arauca— and Bogotá would have posted annual increases in economic activity in the third quarter, driven by industry and transport. Five of the seven regions would have seen a decline compared with the same period of 2025, and all recorded a weaker result than in the second quarter. The August 10 earthquake and high temperatures particularly affected the Southwest and Central Coffee regions.
