Summary: Overall, Colombia's trade values showed a positive trend in both imports and exports for the month and year analyzed. Total exports increased by approximately 106.14 million USD (2.35%) year-on-year, while imports rose by 400.11 million USD (7.08%). Month-on-month, exports increased by 553.09 million USD (13.56%), and imports rose by 160.8 million USD (2.73%).
