Latam Daily | Investment performed better than consumption in Colombia in 1Q15
Summary
Domestic demand increased in 1Q15, boosting imports (+8.1% YoY), albeit at a slower rate than in 4Q14. Investment performed better than consumption, despite investment declining from 10.1% to 6.0% YoY, hit by machinery and equipment and private construction. In any case, we maintain our GDP growth forecast of 3.1% in 2015.
