1/ Starting July 3, the Stock Market of Bogotá, Medellín and Occidente were grouped under one single market: the Colombia Stock Market.
2/ The RER corresponds to a calculation based on non traditional trade annual moving weights.
3/ Revised data. The variation of the international reserves on April 1st., 2005, was mainly due to the increase of deposits by the Treasury in the Central Bank.
4/ Starting in October 2000, the short term external liabilities of the Central Bank include the interest accrued on the allocation of SDR's and the liabilities generated by the management of the portfolio of the Central Bank reserves. Therefore the stock of Net International Reserves decreases. Hence, the measurement of International Reserves meets the recomendations of the IMF methodology. 
5/ This is the measure of international reserves consistent with the IMF Agreement. These reserves are equivalent to the "adjusted net international reserves" minus: i). Foreign exchange liabilities with domestic residents, ii). "put" options on foreign exchange. According to the IMF Agreement, the baseline targets may be adjusted downwards to allow interventions called for to control destabilizing exchange rate fluctuations.
6/ Corresponds to the mode of the interbank lending rate (TIB) calculated by the Banco de la República, through a daily survey of 15 banking istitutions.
7/ Starting May 2001, this rate will no longer be published.
8/ Calculated as the weighted average of the rates of the following types of credit: consumption, corporate, commercial and short-term . Due to its high turnover the weight of the short-term credit is calculated as one -fifth of its daily amount.
9/ Historical data were revised for the year 2001.
10/ Revised data.
11/ Net of provisions. 
12/ CPI excluding all items of the food group.
13/ CPI excluding 20% of the weight of the items that showed the greatest price volatility between January 1990 and April 1999.
