 Colombia - HISTORY
In 1946 Ospina assumed office and was faced with the difficult task of ruling from a minority position, as Liberals had received the majority of all presidential votes and continued to control Congress.
Ospina became increasingly concerned with retaining Conservative control and provoked Liberals further by resorting frequently to police enforcement of Conservative privileges in the rural areas.
Ospina banned public meetings in March 1949 and fired all Liberal governors in May. In November of that year, Ospina ordered the army to forcibly close Congress.

January 17, 2001 (BNamericas.com) - Colombia"s state-run bank Bancafe will issue bonds worth US$89.2mn between January 20 and 30, to strengthen its balance sheet and increase liquidity, Bancafe president Pedro Nel Ospina was quoted as saying in El Pais (Colombia).
Ospina said the bond issue will have a triple-A rating from rating agency Duff and Phelps and be issued in three series, with terms ranging from 18-months to three years.
According to Ospina, the triple-A rating is due to three factors: the injection of US$388mn between 1999 and 2000; administrative restructuring in 2000 which cut staff to 4,350; and the structure of the bond issue, which is backed up by Bancafe"s equity.
