What the numbers say
In 2025, Colombia's gross fixed capital formation (constant LCU) rose 1.3% on 2024 (from 167.62 trillion to 169.87 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +3% and a typical year strayed about 11.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 36.3% in 1993 and the biggest yearly fall was 34.6% in 1999. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 18% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Gross fixed capital formation includes acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets during the accounting period, including certain specified expenditures on services that add to the value of non-produced assets. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
