Feeble 1.1 percent growth in Colombia first quarter

Colombia’s GDP grew by only 1.1 percent, year over year, in the first quarter of 2017, according to government figures released this month.

While the results were in line with the 1.1 percent projection previously made by analysts polled by Bloomberg, the figure was below both the calendar-year 2016 growth of 2 percent, the fourth quarter year-over-year results, 1.6 percent, and the first quarter 2016 year-over-year results of 2.6 percent.
