Colombia’s Davivienda Manufacturing PMI slipped to 51.7 in October 2026, its lowest level since April, down from 54.6 in September and below market expectations of 54.2. Even so, the index remained above its long‑run average, indicating continued, albeit slower, expansion in the sector.
Output grew at only a modest pace—the weakest since July—as new business continued to support production. However, subdued demand for some products and earthquake-related disruptions, particularly to transport, constrained overall growth. New orders rose for the nineteenth consecutive month, though at the slowest rate since May.
Employment fell for the first time in seven months, with firms attributing staff cuts to cash‑flow pressures, layoffs, earthquake-related interruptions and a shortage of skilled labor.
