Bogota, Colombia - The US dollar has seen a significant drop in value against the Colombian peso in recent months, leading to lower prices for imported goods and services. The Representative Market Rate (TRM) has fallen by 6.12% in the last two months, reaching its lowest point since September 2025.
This depreciation of the dollar has made it cheaper for Colombians to travel abroad, purchase imported products, and access international services. Electronics, appliances, and vehicles are among the items that have seen price reductions.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy S24 (8 GB) is currently priced at $1,419 on Amazon, equivalent to $5.89 million Colombian pesos. This is a significant decrease from two months ago, when the same phone cost $6.27 million pesos.
Experts attribute the dollar's decline to a variety of factors, including [insert reasons for the decline, if known]. Regardless of the cause, the current exchange rate offers a favorable opportunity for Colombians to save money on international purchases and travel.
