The financial sector's dominance of FDI (45.4%)
- The record of foreign investment: real cases
- Foreign investment, in figures
- Audited
Financial and insurance activities absorbed US$855.2 million, 45.4% of the 2025 FDI inflow (Banguat preliminary). The dossier reads that concentration as reinvested earnings of regional parent companies (banks with Colombian and Central American capital) rather than new plant projects. The next recipients were trade (US$358.6 M, 19.1%), manufacturing (US$203.5 M, 10.8%), information and communications (US$187.0 M, 9.9%) and electricity, water and sanitation (US$138.4 M, 7.4%). The specific banking cases (Bancolombia/BAM, Ficohsa, Promerica) could not be verified in this session.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
