He asserted that the US has violated the Iran-US memorandum of understanding, and that hostilities have resumed; therefore, there is no such thing as "extending the ceasefire agreement." Araqchi also said that Qatar and Pakistan, as mediators, are exchanging information and maintaining contact with Iran, but this does not mean that negotiations between Iran and the US are underway.August 15th - According to a market survey by investment bank Lazard, investors in the secondary market for private equity fund shares are changing how they evaluate potential software investment targets. While awaiting further clarity on the disruptive impact of AI on business models and valuations, they are often "shifting funds to other investment opportunities." The investment bank stated that the vast majority of respondents (91%) believe that the main moat for software companies to cope with the threat of AI and avoid their products becoming obsolete is "the proprietary data advantage and network effects that are difficult for AI to replicate." Lazard stated that as of June this year, only 4% of respondents indicated that their investment approach in the software industry had not changed.

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
