The Leading Economic Activity Indicators is an up to date outlook of the Colombian economy published every two weeks. Indicators were selected aiming at presenting a reduced number of variables that synthesize the real, monetary, exchange and fiscal sectors.
This follow up is divided in two sections: the first one corresponds to the leading indicators for the real activity; the second one contains the information for the monetary, foreign, fiscal and financial sectors.
Industry, trade and energy demand growth is presented in first place. In past decades the latter has shown a very close relation with the behavior of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Likewise indicators that relate with the economic activity in a less direct manner have been selected, such indicators are air and land load transportation. Also the most important labor market indicators are presented –at national level and for the main thirteen cities- as well as the indicators for the construction sector.
Finally, the key monetary, external sector, fiscal and financial indicators are presented; together they reflect the economy’s behavior.
