What the numbers say
In 2025, Colombia's gross savings (current LCU) fell 1.6% on 2024 (from 248.18 trillion to 244.29 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +10.8% and a typical year strayed about 10.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 79.3% in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 15.9% in 2020. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 10.71 trillion a year. A straight line explains 74% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Savings is an amount that represents the part of disposable income (adjusted for the change in pension entitlements) that is not spent on final consumption. Gross savings are calculated as gross national income less total consumption, plus net transfers. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
