Abstract:
Background. The English National Health Service publishes hospital performance indicators based on average postoperative EQ-5D index scores after hip replacement surgery to inform prospective patients’ choices of hospital. Unidimensional index scores are derived from multidimensional health-related quality-of-life data using preference weights estimated from a sample of the UK general population. This raises normative concerns if general population preferences differ from those of the patients who are to be informed. This study explores how the source of valuation affects hospital performance estimates. Methods. Four different value sets reflecting source of valuation (general population v. patients), valuation technique (visual analog scale [VAS] v. time tradeoff [TTO]), and experience with health states (currently experienced vs. experimentally estimated) were used to derive and compare performance estimates for 243 hospitals. Two value sets were newly estimated from EQ-5D-3L data on 122,921 hip replacement patients and 3381 members of the UK general public. Changes in hospital ranking (nationally) and performance outlier status (nationally; among patients’ 5 closest hospitals) were compared across valuations. Results. National rankings were stable under different valuations (rank correlations >0.92). Twenty-three (9.5%) hospitals changed outlier status when using patient VAS valuations instead of general population TTO valuations, the current approach. Outlier status also changed substantially at the local level. This was explained mostly by the valuation technique, not the source of valuations or experience with the health states. Limitations. No patient TTO valuations were available. The effect of value set characteristics could be established only through indirect comparisons. Conclusion. Different value sets may lead to prospective patients choosing different hospitals. Normative concerns about the use of general population valuations are not supported by empirical evidence based on VAS valuations.

Abstract:
Background: Valuation studies of preference-based health measures like SF6D have been conducted in many countries. However, the cost of conducting such studies in countries with small populations or low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) can be prohibitive. There is potential to use results from readily available countries’ valuations to produce better valuation estimates. Methods: Data from Lebanon and UK SF-6D value sets were analyzed, where values for 49 and 249 health states were extracted from samples of Lebanon and UK populations, respectively, using standard gamble techniques. A nonparametric Bayesian model was used to estimate a Lebanon value set using the UK data as informative priors. The resulting estimates were then compared to a Lebanon value set obtained using Lebanon data by itself via various prediction criterions. Results: The findings permit the UK evidence to contribute potential prior information to the Lebanon analysis by producing more precise valuation estimates than analyzing Lebanon data only under all criterions used. Conclusions: The positive findings suggest that existing valuation studies can be merged with a small valuation set in another country to produce value sets, thereby making own country value sets more attainable for LMICs.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The TTO task involves giving up life years, i.e. living a shorter life, to avoid an undesirable health state. Despite being a hypothetical task, some respondents take other life factors into account when completing the task. This study explored the effect of having children and/or a partner on TTO valuations of hypothetical EQ-5D-5L health states in a valuation study of the general population. Methods The study used TTO data collected in a Norwegian EQ-5D-5L valuation study in 2019–2020, by one-to-one pc-assisted interviews following the EQ-VT protocol. We used regression modelling to determine the effect of significant others (having children or a partner) on disutility per health state from the TTO valuations. Results 430 respondents were included [mean age 43.8 (SD 15.9) years, 58% female, 48% with children, 68% with a partner, 25% with neither children nor partner]. Having children and/or a partner was associated with lowered willingness to trade life years translating to higher elicited health state utilities (p < 0.01). Conclusion Having significant others, or the lack of having significant others, was associated with respondents’ valuation of hypothetical health states using TTO, more so than traditional sampling variables such as age and sex. Inadequate representativeness in terms of having significant others could bias health state preference values in valuation studies.

Abstract:
AbstractWe return to the long-standing question ‘Who owns the assets in a defined benefit pension plan?’ Unlike earlier studies, we condition the market's assessment of implicit property rights on the sponsoring firm's financial health. Valuations of financially strong firms, and those that are strengthening, are more responsive to pension plan funding. For these firms, each extra dollar of net plan assets is valued at between $0.50 and $1.00. In contrast, for weak and weakening firms, valuation effects are statistically indistinguishable from zero. This result is consistent with the higher likelihood that they will renege on their pension obligations.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives EQ-5D-Y-3L health states are valued by adults taking the perspective of a 10-year-old child. Compared to valuation of adult EQ-5D instruments, this entails two changes to the perspective: (i) child health states are valued instead of adult health states and: (ii) health states are valued for someone else instead of for oneself. Although earlier work has shown that these combined changes yield different values for child and adult health states that are otherwise equal, it currently remains unclear why. Hence, we aimed to disentangle the effects of both changes. Methods A sample of 205 students (mean age: 19.48) was surveyed. Each respondent completed visual analogue scale (VAS) and time trade-off (TTO) tasks for five EQ-5D-Y-3L states, using four randomly ordered perspectives: (i) self-adult (themselves), (ii) other-adult (someone their age), (iii) self-child (themselves as a 10-year-old), (iv) other-child (a child of 10 years old). We compared how each perspective impacted outcomes, precision and quality of EQ-5D-Y-3L valuation. Results Overall, differences between perspectives were consistent, with their direction being dependent on the health states and respondents. For VAS, the effect on outcomes of valuation depended on severity, but variance was higher in valuation with child perspectives. For TTO, we observed that EQ-5D-Y-3L states valued on behalf of others (i.e., children or adults) received higher valuations, but lower variances. Conclusion The use of a different perspective appears to yield systematic differences in EQ-5D-Y-3L valuation, with considerable heterogeneity between health states and respondents. This may explain mixed findings in earlier work.

Abstract:
The authors conducted an experiment to determine whether the sequence of presentation of states in a health profile would affect the valuations assigned to them. The empirical task was part of a large standardized experiment involving 104 students. Thirteen health states were valued using two variations of the time-tradeoff method. At the group level, a small but distinct overall effect of the sequence of the tradeoffs was detected after accounting for discounting effects. The respondents were not preference-indifferent concerning the sequence of health states presented. Detailed analysis at the individual level indicated that the overall sequence effect was attributable to two groups of respondents who were sensitive to the sequence of events. One small group, referred to as “best-things-first” respondents, preferred the best years first; the other group, classified as “happy-end” respondents, preferred the reverse sequence. The majority of the respondents, however, were indifferent to the sequence. These results suggest that 1) in valuation experiments involving the time-tradeoff method and 2) in applying valuation results to the evaluation of real-life health consequences, a varying lifetime health profile may not be regarded as simply a chain of independent separately valued and discounted QALY periods. Even elementary valuation tasks cannot safely assume ignorance of prognosis, as the additive utility independence assumption of the QALY model does not hold. The sequence effect at least supplements the conventional general time-preference concept, and specific strategies are suggested to disentangle quantitatively the sequence effect and the time-preference effect.

Abstract:
Sleep valuation, the worth individuals place on sleep, is an understudied construct in the field of sleep medicine. This study introduced a Sleep Valuation Item Bank and explored how sleep valuation is related to sleep health and daytime functioning within a sample of college students. The participants in this study were 247 (85% white, 83% female) undergraduate students who completed an online survey that included questions from a Sleep Valuation Item Bank and questions about sleep and daytime functioning. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to determine associations between sleep valuation, aspects of sleep health and daytime functioning. Mediation analyses were conducted to determine whether the sleep health variables explained the associations between sleep valuation and daytime functioning. In correlation analyses, sleep valuation was negatively associated with sleepiness and sleep quality. It was also associated with daytime functioning, including general mental and physical health, depression, and anxiety. In the regression analyses, daytime impairments including poorer physical and mental health, anxiety, and depression were associated with higher sleep valuation. Poorer sleep health, including greater sleepiness and lower sleep quality, explained these associations and were associated with higher sleep valuation. Thus, while daytime impairments, such as anxiety and depression, are related to sleep valuation, this relationship may be due in part to the sleep disturbance that often co-occurs with these impairments.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the impact of adding a respiratory dimension (a bolt-on dimension) to the EQ-5D-5L health state valuations. Methods. Based on extensive regression and principal component analyses, 2 respiratory bolt-on candidates were formulated: R1, limitations in physical activities due to shortness of breath, and R2, breathing problems. Valuation interviews for the selected bolt-ons were performed with a representative sample from the Dutch general public using the standardized interview protocol and software of the EuroQol group. Hybrid models based on the combined time-tradeoff (TTO) and discrete choice experiment (DCE) data were estimated to assess whether the 5 levels of the respiratory bolt-on led to significant changes in utility values. Results. For each bolt-on candidate, slightly more than 200 valuation interviews were conducted. Mean TTO values and DCE choice probabilities for health states with a level 4 or 5 for the respiratory dimension were significantly lower compared with the same health states in the Dutch EQ-5D-5L valuation study without the respiratory dimension. Results of hybrid models showed that for the bolt-on “limitations in physical activities,” the utility decrements were significant for level 3 (–0.055), level 4 (–0.087), and level 5 (–0.135). For “breathing problems,” the utility decrements for the same levels were greater (–0.086, –0.219, and –0.327, respectively). Conclusions. The addition of each of the 2 respiratory bolt-ons to the EQ-5D-5L had a significant effect on the valuation of health states with severe levels for the bolt-on. The bolt-on dimension “breathing problems” showed the greatest utility decrements and therefore seems the most appropriate respiratory bolt-on dimension.

Abstract:
The purpose of my diploma thesis is to estimate objectivised value of contractual health transportation company. I am defining the value to the date 1st of January 2012. The gist of objectivised value is that the company follows its recent concept of business behavior, with the same management thinking. The value of the company is achieved by DCF valuation methods. Thesis is divided into several parts. The main parts are financial analysis and its output about the health of the company. Financial analysis is followed by strategic analysis that contains information about relevant markets and income forecasts. Next part is analysis and projection of generators of value. On the information from generators of value is based financial plan, which makes the last element for final valuation. Last part is the valuation itself.

Abstract:
Economic evaluation of health technology using cost-utility analysis (CUA) normally applies an extra-welfarist framework in which health, the unit of effectiveness, is maximised. Typically, health status is measured by health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires to define health states. Preferences for health states are valued on a utility scale and combined with the time spent in the state to calculate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). This thesis develops methods for measuring and valuing health using the case of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), where there are limitations with current methods for calculating QALYs.

This thesis contains five studies that make use of non-market valuation techniques and of data collected in Mexico to make methodological and policy contributions to the field. In the order that they are presented in the thesis these are: * a contingent valuation study, based on data collected face-to-face of a representative sample of the population of Mexico City, to calculate a value of statistical life for Mexico and make an assessment of whether the benefit-transfer values that have been and continue to be used in the country are appropriate for policy-making; * a study that uses data collected online on whether the type of organisation sponsoring a contingent valuation survey affects the amount participants say they are willing to pay for the good being valued (in this case mortality risk reductions), all else equal; * a study that uses the same dataset to consider the relationship between trust in institutions and other forms of social capital and contingent valuation results; * an hedonic pricing analysis that makes use of several datasets (including high-resolution property data that is not in the public domain) and seeks to improve on previous attempts at applying this method in a developing country context (jointly using spatial econometrics and an instrumental variables approach); and * a short study on whether there is a relationship between air quality, social capital and subjective wellbeing in Mexico City.

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) aims to inform decision makers about the potential impact of the introduction of new technology in the healthcare scenario. However, several deficiencies are recognized in the process. The objective of this thesis is to prove that HTA can be used before and after the introduction of technology and to propose a multidimensional methodology that reduces uncertainty in the assessment of innovation in healthcare. Three peer-reviewed publications show the limitations of ex-ante and ex-post evaluation and the limitations in attributing the impact to the introduction of a new technology. Several multidimensional evaluation models are analised, and a new methodology to reduce the uncertainty in introducing innovation is proposed. In conclusion, despite its limitations, the HTA process is valid for the ex-ante and ex-post evaluation, but can also be improved by a multidimensional model that uses the same methodological bases of HTA.

Abstract:
Cette thèse a comme but d'assister à établir un mécanisme complémentaire de financement des services de santé dans le contexte de la crise socioéconomique actuelle de l'émergeant Etat Palestinien. Elle vise à élaborer un mécanisme de recouvrement des coûts, efficient et équitable, pour les services de soins de santé primaire, basé sur la valeur d'une amélioration de la qualité du point de vue des patients. L'étude met en œuvre l'évaluation contingente pour estimer la valeur, pour les patients, d'une amélioration de la qualité de soins. Un questionnaire d'évaluation contingente basé sur un scénario décomposé d'évaluation et la carte de paiement comme technique de révélation des préférences a été conçu. Le questionnaire a été administré sur un échantillon de patients se rendant dans de différents types de centre de soins situés dans le district de Ramallah pendant l'été 2001. Les valeurs révélées sont destinées à informer les décideurs sur le prix maximum que les patients seraient prêts à payer pour bénéficier d'une amélioration de la qualité. Ces valeurs sont utilisées pour modéliser la fonction de demande et estimer l'élasticité prix, et l'impact d'un changement dans la structure de prix sur les revenues des centres. Le questionnaire a été ré-administré 19 mois plus tard pour évaluer l'impact de la seconde Intifada palestinien et l'appauvrissement concomitant de la population sur les consentements et capacité à payer des patients. Les résultats démontrent la faisabilité et la " bonne " validité de la méthode lorsqu'elle est appliquée dans les pays en développement. Il s'avère que l'augmentation des tarifs aurait un impact négatif sur la demande de soins, avec une élasticité prix qui augmente avec le niveau de prix. Un prix optimum pourrait être estimé pour maximiser les revenus des centres ; cependant, ceci serait accompagné par des conséquences sociales catastrophiques. L'étude recommande la suspension de toute initiative d'augmentation des coûts sur le compte des patients, surtout, dans le contexte actuel où la pauvreté pourrait avoir un impact négatif sur la capacité des patients à exprimer leurs préférences
This Thesis aims to help establish a complementary funding mechanism for health services in the context of the current socioeconomic crisis in the emerging Palestinian State. It focuses on the design of an efficient and equitable cost-recovery mechanism for primary health care services, based on the value of improving the quality of care from the patients' perspective. The study makes use of contingent valuation method to assess the value, for the patients, of improving the quality of care, by eliciting patients' willingness to pay values for the different quality improvements. A contingnent valuation questionnaire was designed based on a decomposed valuation scenario and the payment card elicitation technique, with user-based financial contributions at the point of consumption being the payment vehicle. The questionnaire was administered on a sample of patients seeking care in different primary health care centers in Ramallah district during summer 2001. The elicited values were used to inform decision-makers about the highest extra user fee patients would be willing to pay to benefit from specified improvements in the quality of care. The values were used to model the demand function for improved care and to estimate demand price-elasticity and the impact of changing the pricing structure on centers' revenues. The questionnaire was re-administered 19 months later to detect the impact of the explosion of the second Palestinian Intifada and the concomitent steep impoverishment of the Palestinian population on patients' willingness and ability to pay for health care. The results demonstrate the feasibility and the “good” validity of contingent valuation when applied to developing countries. Increasing user fees seems to have a negative impact on demand for health care with price-elasticity increasing with rising user fees. An optimal user fee level could be attained to maximize centers' revenues; however, this would be accompanied with catastrophic social consequences. The study recommends suspending and attempt to put more burden on the patients in the present context, where poverty could adversly affect patients' ability to properly express their prefereces

Abstract:
Le recours de plus en plus fréquent à l’évaluation monétaire des impacts sanitaires permet de les intégrer aux processus de décision, souvent fondés sur des critères essentiellement économiques, et de prendre en compte les préférences des personnes concernées. Il conduit à s’interroger sur la fiabilité des méthodes et sur leur adaptation au contexte de la décision. Ce travail se propose de déterminer la robustesse des valeurs monétaires des impacts sanitaires estimées par évaluation contingente en traitant de la question suivante : la cause de l’impact sanitaire influence son évaluation ? La théorie économique précise d’une part que l’évaluation d’un impact sanitaire ne devrait dépendre que de ses caractéristiques et non de ses causes, et d’autre part, qu’il faut fournir l’ensemble des informations nécessaires à l’évaluation. En pratique, les évaluations contingentes énoncent parfois des causes, avec des résultats variables. Une évaluation contingente a été conduite pour analyser l’influence des causes de la bronchite pulmonaire chronique obstructive sur son évaluation, en comparant quatre versions du questionnaire : la cause n'est pas citée ; la cause est principalement imputable au tabac et à la pollution de l’air ; la cause n'est que la pollution de l’air ; ou que le tabac. Les résultats montrent que la mention des causes possibles et crédibles augmente l’acceptabilité du questionnaire. Lors de la détermination du consentement à payer, les divers contextes ont moins d’influence que les caractéristiques des personnes interrogées, en particulier leur santé et l’environnement (alimentation saine, activité physique, pollution du lieu de vie). Par conséquent, fournir des informations sur les causes de l’impact sanitaire évalué permettrait d’améliorer la fiabilité de l’évaluation. Il faut noter que les incertitudes restent importantes, notamment parce que l’exercice reste inusité en France où la Sécurité Sociale couvre en grande partie les dépenses de santé
Monetary valuation of health impacts is increasingly used to support decision process, often relying mainly on economic criteria, and to take into account preferences of concerned people. This use leads to questioning the reliability of the methods and their adaptation to the context of decisions support. This work aims at determining the robustness of monetary values of health impacts estimated by contingent valuation via the following question: does the cause of the assessed health impact influence its monetary value? Economic theory outlines that, on the one hand monetary value of an health impact should depend on its characteristics only and not on its causes, on the other hand all information useful to the valuation should be provided. In practice, contingent valuations sometimes state the causes, with inconsistent results. A contingent valuation was conducted to analyze the effect of cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with four versions of the questionnaire: the cause is not indicated, the causes are said to be mainly smoking and air pollution, the cause is said to be air pollution only, and smoking only. Results show that stipulating the possible causes increases the acceptability of the questionnaire. The willingness to pay depends less on the causes but more on the personal characteristics of the respondents, especially their health and environment (healthy diet, sport practice, pollution in living area). To conclude, providing information about the causes of the valued health impact would increase the reliability of the assessment. Uncertainties remain high in particular as this valuation stays unusual in France where the National Health Service covers most of health expenses

Abstract:
Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a serious public health issue in many areas of South and South East Asia. One study estimates that in Cambodia over 100,000 people are exposed, with the majority of those living in Kandal Province. In this thesis we present 3 original empirical studies focused on estimating nonmarket values for reduced arsenic risk water, based on primary data collected in May 2013. We also present a review paper which discusses the various economic techniques which have typically been used to estimate welfare values for cost-benefit analysis of mitigation strategies or appraisal of drinking water standards. The first empirical paper presents the results of a discrete choice experiment (DCE)to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) values for reduced arsenic water. We discuss the results of scale-extended latent class choice models and underlying differences in preferences and choice consistency. We find that a reduction in the permissible limit on arsenic in drinking water may best represent underlying household preferences for risk. The second empirical paper presents the results of a split sample choice experiment focusing on differences between money (WTP) and labour contributions (WTWork) as payment vehicles in terms of choice behaviour and attribute non-attendance. We find that the results from the two experiments are relatively consistent which reinforces our results from the previous chapter that focuses on WTP measures alone and adds credibility to the large numbers of DCEs conducted in rural areas of developing countries. The final empirical paper examines actual household behaviour relative to an arsenic testing and education campaign run by a local NGO. We find that the vast majority of households change their drinking water source upon being informed that it is unsafe. On average households that switch increase their expenditures. In doing so however they also reduce the amount of time spent collecting water which limits the use of expenditure changes as an approximation of welfare values.

Abstract:
Abstract Component Cooling Water System (CCWS) heat exchanger in nuclear power plant plays an important role in normal operation and accident condition. Because of the different requirements of heat conduction performance under normal operation and accident conditions, it is necessary to monitor the heat conduction performance under normal conditions to valuation the performance under accident condition. At present, the heat transfer coefficient is calculated by collecting the temperature and flow parameters of the cold and hot sides of CCWS heat exchanger. This way of valuation does not consider the influence of the change of plant operating conditions on the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger, and it is also impossible to predict the failure time.The intelligent monitoring and diagnosis system using big data intelligent algorithm and failure mechanism model can automatically calculate the evaluation parameters that can characterize the trend changes of thermal and hydraulic performance of heat exchanger in real time, and realize the purpose of predicting the faults of heat exchanger in advance, thus guiding on-site maintenance personnel to accurately arrange maintenance activities.Based on the research of intelligent monitoring and diagnosis system of CCWS heat exchanger, this paper introduces the development direction and suggested realization method of CCWS heat exchanger in the intelligent process of nuclear power plant, and puts forward the conception of developing intelligent monitoring and diagnosis system of CCWS heat exchanger.

Abstract:
Abstract The transient Thermochromic Liquid Crystal (TLC) method is applied to determine the distribution of the local heat transfer coefficients using a configuration with parallel cooling channels at an engine relevant Reynolds number. The rectangular channels with a moderate aspect ratio and a high length-to-diameter ratio are equipped with one-sided oblique ribs with high blockage, which is a promising configuration for turbine near wall cooling applications. In this arrangement, the three inner channels should experience same flow and thermal conditions. Numerical simulations are performed to substantiate this assumption. The symmetric single channels are sprayed with narrowband TLC with various indication temperatures. Multiple experiments were conducted. All start at ambient conditions before the fluid is heated up to several temperatures between 46°C and 73°C. The results show that the determined local heat transfer coefficients and therefore the Nusselt numbers vary significantly for the different experimental conditions especially at locations of high heat transfer coefficient behind the ribs. A simplified procedure with respect to measurement uncertainties is applied to enable an easy and fast valuation on the data quality. This might be used within the data reduction analysis for such experiments directly. The approach is illustrated using the obtained experimental data.

Abstract:
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. The Mesoamerican Reef contains the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. However, its health is threatened, so there is a need for a management and sustainable conservation. Key to this is knowing the economic value of the ecosystem. “Mainstreaming the value of natural capital into policy decision-making is vital” The value of environmental and natural resources reflects what society is willing to pay for a good or service or to conserve natural resources. Conventional economic approaches tended to view value only in terms of the willingness to pay for raw materials and physical products generated for human production and consumption (e.g. fish, mining materials, pharmaceutical products, etc.). As recognition of the potential negative impacts of human activity on the environment became more widespread, economists began to understand that people might also be willing to pay for other reasons beyond the own current use of the service (e.g. to protect coral reefs from degradation or to know that coral reefs will remain intact in the future). As a result of this debate, Total Economic Value (TEV) became the most widely used and commonly accepted framework for classifying economic benefits of ecosystems and for trying to integrate them into decision-making. This report estimates the economic value of the following goods and services provided by the MAR's coral reefs: Tourism & Recreation, Fisheries, Shoreline protection. To our knowledge, the inclusion of non-use values in the economic valuation of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System is novel, which makes the study more comprehensive.

Abstract:
We fund research and development across a broad spectrum of areas aimed at improving public health and consumer confidence and developing more flexible approaches to regulation that deliver effective assurance. The intended benefits from our funded research can be hard to measure and attribute, such as new food safety standards which may lead to positive social change. Previous attempts to assess the benefits delivered by our research have met with limited success, and our own review of the literature concluded that none of the published valuation methodologies met our need. This project was commissioned to develop a new bespoke valuation methodology that could be used to inform the prioritisation of future research and development investment.

Financial Stability Report - September 2015. Banco de la República, August 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/rept-estab-fin.sem2.eng-2015.

Full text
Abstract:
From this edition, the Financial Stability Report will have fewer pages with some changes in its structure. The purpose of this change is to present the most relevant facts of the financial system and their implications on the financial stability. This allows displaying the analysis more concisely and clearly, as it will focus on describing the evolution of the variables that have the greatest impact on the performance of the financial system, for estimating then the effect of a possible materialization of these risks on the financial health of the institutions. The changing dynamics of the risks faced by the financial system implies that the content of the Report adopts this new structure; therefore, some analyses and series that were regularly included will not necessarily be in each issue. However, the statistical annex that accompanies the publication of the Report will continue to present the series that were traditionally included, regardless of whether or not they are part of the content of the Report. In this way we expect to contribute in a more comprehensive way to the study and analysis of the stability of the Colombian financial system. Executive Summary During the first half of 2015, the main advanced economies showed a slow recovery on their growth, while emerging economies continued with their slowdown trend. Domestic demand in the United States allowed for stabilization on its average growth for the first half of the year, while other developed economies such as the United Kingdom, the euro zone, and Japan showed a more gradual recovery. On the other hand, the Chinese economy exhibited the lowest growth rate in five years, which has resulted in lower global dynamism. This has led to a fall in prices of the main export goods of some Latin American economies, especially oil, whose price has also responded to a larger global supply. The decrease in the terms of trade of the Latin American economies has had an impact on national income, domestic demand, and growth. This scenario has been reflected in increases in sovereign risk spreads, devaluations of stock indices, and depreciation of the exchange rates of most countries in the region. For Colombia, the fall in oil prices has also led to a decline in the terms of trade, resulting in pressure on the dynamics of national income. Additionally, the lower demand for exports helped to widen the current account deficit. This affected the prospects and economic growth of the country during the first half of 2015. This economic context could have an impact on the payment capacity of debtors and on the valuation of investments, affecting the soundness of the financial system. However, the results of the analysis featured in this edition of the Report show that, facing an adverse scenario, the vulnerability of the financial system in terms of solvency and liquidity is low. The analysis of the current situation of credit institutions (CI) shows that growth of the gross loan portfolio remained relatively stable, as well as the loan portfolio quality indicators, except for microcredit, which showed a decrease in these indicators. Regarding liabilities, traditional sources of funding have lost market share versus non-traditional ones (bonds, money market operations and in the interbank market), but still represent more than 70%. Moreover, the solvency indicator remained relatively stable. As for non-banking financial institutions (NBFI), the slowdown observed during the first six months of 2015 in the real annual growth of the assets total, both in the proprietary and third party position, stands out. The analysis of the main debtors of the financial system shows that indebtedness of the private corporate sector has increased in the last year, mostly driven by an increase in the debt balance with domestic and foreign financial institutions. However, the increase in this latter source of funding has been influenced by the depreciation of the Colombian peso vis-à-vis the US dollar since mid-2014. The financial indicators reflected a favorable behavior with respect to the historical average, except for the profitability indicators; although they were below the average, they have shown improvement in the last year. By economic sector, it is noted that the firms focused on farming, mining and transportation activities recorded the highest levels of risk perception by credit institutions, and the largest increases in default levels with respect to those observed in December 2014. Meanwhile, households have shown an increase in the financial burden, mainly due to growth in the consumer loan portfolio, in which the modalities of credit card, payroll deductible loan, revolving and vehicle loan are those that have reported greater increases in risk indicators. On the side of investments that could be affected by the devaluation in the portfolio of credit institutions and non-banking financial institutions (NBFI), the largest share of public debt securities, variable-yield securities and domestic private debt securities is highlighted. The value of these portfolios fell between February and August 2015, driven by the devaluation in the market of these investments throughout the year. Furthermore, the analysis of the liquidity risk indicator (LRI) shows that all intermediaries showed adequate levels and exhibit a stable behavior. Likewise, the fragility analysis of the financial system associated with the increase in the use of non-traditional funding sources does not evidence a greater exposure to liquidity risk. Stress tests assess the impact of the possible joint materialization of credit and market risks, and reveal that neither the aggregate solvency indicator, nor the liquidity risk indicator (LRI) of the system would be below the established legal limits. The entities that result more individually affected have a low share in the total assets of the credit institutions; therefore, a risk to the financial system as a whole is not observed.
