The year 2005 saw a favorable performance of the world economy,

characterized by Gross Domestic Product growth -GDP- nearing 3.3%, a figure

slightlybelowthatfor2004,whichwasanexceptional4%.

This slight deceleration in production and trade was due to the incentive

policiesapplied in theUnitedStatesby theFederalReserveasof2001,andto

measuresaimedatcounteringChina’sinvestmentboom.

Variable growth levels were observed in the world’s main economies: The

UnitedStatesandChinakeptrelativelystablegrowthratesalongtheyear(3.5%

and 9.5% respectively), the European Union showed 1.2% deceleration, Japan

showed2.8%rebound,andSouthAmerica’sgrowthreached4.0%.

The effects of the attacks on service delivery do not mean fewer revenues

for the Corporation, because they are considered force majeure events (CREG

and interpretation of legal ruling, especially fiscal ruling, ISA has established

2.11 Share performance in the capital market

2.11.1 Colombia’sstockmarket

Once again, the Colombian Stock Exchange took the first places among

the stock markets with the largest growth worldwide, according to theWorld

Federation of Exchanges (WFE). It occupied the second place, among the

What happened in the securities market is undoubtedly a reflection of the

behavior of the rest of the economy: growth outdid the expectations; interest

rates were relatively low; investment resources saw an increase on the part of

foreign and institutional agents; the Colombian peso gained strength, making

investmentindollarslessattractive;andmajorbusinessdeals,suchasthesalesof
