We (Korea Electric Power Corporation or "KEPCO") expect our sales volume and
sales revenue from the sale of electricity to grow by 5.6% and 6.6%,
respectively, in 2003 over 2002, and 6.6% and 6.7%, respectively, in 2004 over
2003.
In making such forecast, we made, among others, assumptions set forth below.
GDP Growth Rate (2003) 2.9%
GDP Growth rate (2004) 4.7%
Balance of Current Account (2003) U$2.2-U$3.0 billion
Rate of Inflation/Consumer Price Index (2003) 3.3%
Rate of Unemployment (2003) 3.5%
Growth Rate of Consumption (2003) -1.3-0.3%
Growth Rate of Investment (2003) -0.3-1.0%
Growth Rate of Sales Volume for the first 9 months in 2003 6.0%
Growth Rate of Sales Revenue from the Sale of Electricity for
the first 9 months in 2003 7.0%
In making such forecast, a variety of statistical methods such as Multiple
Regression, Time Series Analysis and Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average
are employed, giving consideration to the sales plan set by regional branch
offices.
There can be no assurance that the expectations expressed above will prove
correct. Actual results may differ materially from our expectations set forth
above for a number of reasons. We have no obligation to update the
forward-looking statements made above.
