9 COLOMBIAN MINNING STATISTICAL YEARBOOK ç Introduction D uring the last years the mining contribution to the Colombian Economy has been progressive, due to the increase of the coal mining since the 80 s mainly in the Cesar and Guajira departments. Also, other traditional minerals focus on exportation as the ferronickel in Cerromatoso and non-traditional minerals such as gold and emeralds amongst others have contributed to the economy. Such contribution can be seen through the analysis of the mining GDP as a promoter of the growth in the national GDP and its correlation with the increase of the Foreign Direct Investment in our country. In the period comprehended between the years 2003 and 2009 (I semester) the Colombian mining presented the following advances closely related with the vision stated in the National Mining Development Plan (Plan Nacional de Desarrollo Minero) which established in the year 2019 the mining industry in Colombia will be one of the most relevant in Latin America and it will have significantly increase its participation in the national economy The relation between the Mining GDP and the National GDP presented an annual participation average of 1.54% between the years 2003 and 2009 (I semester). This relationship has been stable because of the increasing value of the Coal GDP in the Mining GDP. The coal production shows an annual average variation of 8.74% which reflects an increase, during the period , of 10.9% of the production. Between the years 2003 and 2007 the coal production grew in 39.72% from 50 million tons to almost 70 million tons. Other precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum showed an overall production of tons, distributed in tons of gold, 36 tons of silver and 5.6 tons of platinum. The boom in the sector has been related with the positive behaviour of the international prices. The value of the mining sector exports between the year 200 and August of 2009 augment to 39 million dollars FOB. The coal exports increased in million tons during the years 2003 and 2009 (I semester), which represented a raise of 70.9%. The export sales of traditional goods such as coal

10 ïð and ferronickel showed favorable international prices that motivated the large insertion of both products in the international market. The traditional mining exports (coal and ferronickel) represented a 32.17% of the total value of the Mining sector exports (including hydrocarbons) during the reference period 2000 to June 2009, with a value of million dollars FOB. The Foreign Direct Investment from the year 2000 to the year 2009 (II semester) is valued in US$ million and is expected that it boosts to US$ million in the year Within the sector policies three clear strategies are to be highlighted, which focus on: The promotion of the País Minero (the mining potential of the country): this policy procures that the Estate promotes the País Minero in the international arena. The improvement of the Productivity and Competitiveness: this requires a strategic plan, which assures in the long run the contribution of the mining sector to the sustainable development of the country and its regions, strengthening the economic and social grow of the country. Within this frame the Modelo de Gestión de Distritos Mineros (Policy model for the mining districts) has been developed, which will become a referent for the mining activities in the country and with clear goals of clustering all the mining production and competition variables that are presented in the country. Another crucial aspect of the strategy is to articulate the mining activities with both the Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial (National Land Management Plan) and the regional development plans of each one of the different municipalities that shape the mining regions. Management of the mining resources: the optimization of the supporting processes related to the mining activities, which are those associated with the management of the mining resources. After a long time of the enactment of the law 685 of 2001, which is the current mining code, the Ministry of Mining and Energy saw convenient and necessary to promote a reform to the law, with the objective of boosting the mining activity in the country. Currently the law project 010 of 2007 is waiting for the presidential approval which will modify the law 685 of The reason why the Colombian mining has establish itself worldwide starts with the commitment of the institutions lead by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, which seeks to attract foreign investment through a variety of strategies which are implemented by the Mining Direction, of the Ministry of Mining and Energy, which is responsible for the development of the Colombian Mining Statistics Yearbook, an instrument for the promotion, communication and validation of the national mining industry sector performance for which this documents is presented with the support of different sources of information.

12 ïî The behaviour of the internal GDP for the period between 2004 and 2008 presented an annual average variation of 5.5%. The increase of the production value was associated with the grow of some of the production items like construction (specially civil works), manufacturing industry which was responsible of pulling the growth together with the commercial trading, transportation and mining and quarry operation amongst others. The national GDP increased its price constant value since the year 2000, from 225 COP billion in 2004 to 280 COP billion in The annual variations showed a sustainable growth during the stated period, presenting in 2008 a decline of 1.9% in the manufacturing sector and a raise of 7.3% in the mining and quarry sector POPULATION Table.

14 ïì Figure. Export by Sector In millions of dollars FOB Souce: DANE Both the international trade dynamic and the favorable international prices were key factors in the good behaviour shown by our country exports. The value of the exports generated by Colombia for the period is million dollars. The annual variations indicate an increase for the stated period with an average of 23.5% showing the biggest increase during the years 2004 and 2005 for which the industrial and mining sector weighted more in the indicator. The overall exports showed a surplus due to the favorable exchange rate (favorable international prices for our basic products) and the strong demand of our commercial partners like the United States and Venezuela. The traditional exports grew in the period in 27.6% average, those were mainly composed of petroleum and its derivates, coal and ferronickel that were favored by historically high international prices and also coffee. The non-traditional exports showed also high figures with a grow average of 20% made up by the agricultural /livestock sector, industrial sector (apparel, food, beverages and chemical industry among others and within the mining sector also in the non monetary gold and emeralds items.

The main destination of this investment was related with the mining and quarry sector INFLATION Table. Annual Inflation Variation In percentage Source: Banco de la República, annual variation, calculation UPME Graphic. Annual Inflation Variation In Percentage Source: Banco de la República, annual variation, calculation UPME The consumer annual inflation in the year 2008 ended in 7.6% which was affected by transitory demand shocks, as was the case of the food sector. In our country around 74% of the inflation acceleration in 2007 was associated with the CPI of the food sector. The raise in the food prices obeyed in first place to the high international prices of products like oils, cereals and sugar which are an essential part of the consumer basket. This phenomenon increased in the international prices of fuel, the raise of some emergent economies such as China and India and even the global warming helped in the increase of the indicator. In second place some transitory environmental phenomena and in third place the increase of both the internal demand and the internal offer.

This goal assumes a deficit of 3.3% of the GDP for the finances of the Central Government that will be partially adjusted by the 1.7% of the GDP surplus of the de-centralized sector. The expenses of a financial re-structuring are estimated in 0.3% of the GDP and the numbers of the Banco de la Republica and Fogafin will show a surplus of 0.4% and 0.1% of the GDP respectively. As a result an augment of the public deficit is expected based on both cyclical and non-cyclical factors such as an ascending cycle of the pension payment, the collection of the capital taxes and the liquidation of the ISS amongst others EXTERNAL DEBT Table.
