INTRODUCTION

1. This document contains: a list of external loans signed during1979-80; a list of projects for 1979-82 originally included in, but subse-quently deleted from, the 1979-82 Project List (World Bank Report No. 2536-CO); and a list of projects for which the Colombian Government seekingexternal financing during the period 1981-84, in the form of summary tablesand in detailed project-by-project descriptions.

2. The proposed 1981-84 investment projects were identified andelaborated by the Colombian Government. The Colombian authorities expectto initiate the construction of all these projects during 1981-84. It isquite likely, however, that some schedules will change as a result ofeither cancellation or postponement of projects. Past experience showsthat as time goes on, such changes are substantial, but it is not possibleto identify at this time which of the projects are likely to be affected.

3. The .composition of the 1981-84 Project List reflects theemphasis which the Colombian Government has accorded to the development ofits energy resources, particularly electric power, coal, and petroleum,and to upgrading the country's transport infrastructure.

4. Of the total external borrowing envisaged during 1981-84 (US$9.8billion equivalent), energy accounts for US$6.1 billion, or 62% of thetotal. The 32 energy projects included in the List would significantlyimprove Colombia's overall energy balance by the late 1980s. Investmentsin power generation, transmission and distribution constitute 72% ofinvestments in the energy sector; coal development in export-oriented andimport-substitution projects 26%; and the remainder is composed ofpetroleum and natural gas exploration and secondary recovery projects.The single most important project in the energy field is the North Cerrejoncoal exploitation project which will enable Colombia to become animportant coal exporter starting in 1986.

5. Transport infrastructure accounts for 10% of the total financingrequested. The list contains 20 transportation projects with totalexternal financing requirements of US$1.0 billion over the four yearperiod. The objectives of these projects would be to improve the effi-ciency of the railways, ports, and road transport thereby contributing toenergy conservation, lower transport costs, and encouraging regionaleconomic integration. The list also includes telecommunications projectstotalling US$510 million, 5% of the external financing requested, whichare designed to improve the quality and coverage of domestic and interna-tional services.

-iv-

6. Projects in the productive sectors account for 7% of theexternal loans included in the List. Agriculture and rural developmentprojects amount to US$392 million in external financing and include 13projects which emphasize credit, integrated rural development, marketing,irrigation and drainage services, and watershed management. Theseprojects are designed to increase agricultural productivity and raiserural incomes. Industry and mining projects account for another US$315million of external financing, and include five projects which areexpected to increase and diversify industrial and mining production.

7. The social sectors account for US$541 million, or 6% of totalexternal financing requested. Water supply and sewerage projects areintended to increase the quality and coverage of potable water supply andsewerage services in urban and rural areas. Also included, are projects ineducation, nutrition and health which aim at upgrading the quality of theseservices, particularly in rural areas.

8. Urban and regional programs include seven projects accountingfor US$834 million of the external financing. The major portion of thisfigure is to finance mass rapid rail systems in Bogota, Medellin and Cali,Colombia's largest cities. A project for preinvestment studies for US$50million is also included.

9. In line with the growing participation of commercial banks andsuppliers in the external financing contracted during 1979 and 1980 (over60% of total external loans signed), a major portion of external financingunder the List is expected to come from these sources. To accommodate thelarge external financing for the investment projects included in the List,the Government intends to diminish its general purpose external borrowing.

10. Table 1, which follows, provides a summary of the basic infor-mation on total investment costs and external financing by sector for theperiod 1981-84.

IV. TOTAL ESTIMATED COST: US$60.0 million

V. EXTERNAL FINANCING. REQUESTED: US$15.2 million

VI. LENDING AGENCY: EXIMBANK of Japan and EXIMBANK of USA,Commercial Banks and Suppliers' Credit.

VII. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: The project consists of the constructionof a 66 MW coal-fired unit in the Zipaquira thermal complex. This expansion,programmed by ISA, will help meet demand that cannot be suppliLed by existinghydro facilities. A deficit in such power generation is envisaged for 1981-1982. The thermal plant can be constructed in a relatively short time andis expected to come on stream in 1983.

II. EXECUTING AGENCY: CORELCA



V. EXTERNAL FINANCING REQUESTED: US$24.1 million

VI. LENDING AGENCY: Commercial Banks and Suppliers'Credit

VII. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: The project consists of thedesign, furnishing and construction of a 158-MW thermal plant locatedby the coast at Palomino (Guajira department). The plant will burncoal from the central block of the Cerrejon deposit once it becomesavailable; until then it will be natural gas. Its objectives are tomeet the demand for energy of the Atlantic Coast Interconnected Systemstarting in 1982, and to provide the central system with theadequate thermal support during periods of dry weather. The energyproduced is to be utilized in the coal mining development in theCerrejon project, the industrial complex projected for the Guajira,in supplying the market of the Atlantic Coast Electric Corporation,and in the sale of surplus electricity to the central system during1982-85.

II. EXECUTING AGENCY: ICEL




VI. LENDING AGENCY: Commercial Banks, Suppliers'Credit and Export Credit

VII. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: The Betania Project is designedto utilize the water flow from the Magdalena River. Project invest-ments include caption of water, pressure tunnels, electro-mechanicalequipment, transmission equipment and power house. The plant willbe connected to the rest of the National System by 220 KV transmissionlines with a substation in Cali. It will be necessary to construct a20 km access road to the dam. The 500 MW plant is expected to initiateoperations in 1986.

For opera-tional purposes the countries have been divided into four groups;Colombia is part of a group along with Ecuador, Peru and Chile.The exploration cost has been estimated at US$630 per kilometer,including information and processing costs. Almost all of the costswould be in foreign currencies. The logistics and personnel costsof information processing would be covered with local resources.

The second phase proposes to replace TV andradio equipment in order to improve service performance. Thetransmission equipment used in the two TV networks is over 20 yearsold and could be rendered useless in a short time. The expansionof the second TV network will carry signals to the same regionspresently covered by the first network, thereby facilitating avaried selection of programs.

The A.M. transmission equipmentof the National Radio was acquired over 15 years ago and its main-tenance has become increasingly difficult and costly. 'With thepurchase of new equipment,it will be possible to cover Valle delCauca, Santander, Narino and the Atlantic Coast. This will givethe necessary support to the educational programs on the NationalRadio. Recording facilities and mobile units for remote controlprograms are also included.

II. EXECUTING AGENCY: HIMAT





VII. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: The Maria La Baja Irrigationwas originally planned for the development of 17,000 hectares. In thisconnection, a large part of the basic irrigation and drainage investmentshave already been constructed. The intensive development of the area requiresa yearly supply of 250 million cubic meters of water. However, the dams atArroyo Grande and Arroyo Maturya can only supply 100 million cubic meters peryear. The proposed investments include the completion of irrigation and drainagesystems,and the infrastructure to provide the necessary facilities to supplythe additional 150 million cubic meters of water. Furthermore, the construc-tion of this project would incorporate new lands for agricultural developmentand increase the area under cultivation. The project also includes a technicalassistance component to study the feasibility of supplying water from theCanal del Dique to another area in the Maria La Baja region, in addition to asugar cane rehabilitation project in Santa Cruz.
