1.1.

Assets

As of March 31, 2020, Bancolombia's assets totaled COP 275,762 billion, which represents an increase of 16.8% compared to 4Q19 and of 23.9% compared to 1Q19.

During the quarter, the COP depreciated 23.7% versus the USD and over the past 12 months, it depreciated 27.7%. This depreciation affected assets and liabilities, especially loans and allowances, deposits and shareholders' equity. The average exchange rate for 1Q20 was 7.7% higher than the one in 4Q19.

The increase in total assets during the year is largely explained by the growth in the loan book and cash.
