Role of Housing Finance/Capital Markets SOCIAL STABILITY: Enables households to purchase an asset which will represent their largest single investment. Personal residences account for 75-90% of household wealth worldwide, which amounts to 3 to 6 times their annual income. Housing represents 40% of the monthly expenditure of households worldwide. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Investment in housing accounts for 15-35% of aggregate investment worldwide. Housing finance supports a successful economic sector, and frees personal savings which can be invested in small businesses. Residential construction accounts for 5% of labor force worldwide, while real estate services (including finance) constitutes 4% of labor force worldwide. There is no dispute that housing finance and capital markets have tremendous development impact GLOBALLY.

COLOMBIA EXPERIENCE Political risks (change of mortgage laws, terrorism) Unstable macroeconomic environment Increased levels of mortgage lending or creation of new specialized lending institutions (competition) Untested foreclosure laws (some pending civil suits) that could prove to be problematic for Hitos Investor education Inability to develop active secondary trading of MBS, continues to be swap and hold (not in line with government expectations for growth of markets) Regulator could establish regulatory guidelines (capital adequacy, liquidity ratios etc.) which inhibit business Regulator could establish oversight regime that is intrusive and provides too much information to markets Challenges Ahead
