In 2003 the financial markets recovered significantly from their levels in 2002.
During the first quarter of 2003, stock prices fell due to the instability caused
by the conflict in Iraq and the uncertain prospects of economic recovery,
which were more than offset by the general improvement that followed in
the remainder of the year. In this context, the period of difficulty and great
change faced by the Fiat Group affected its stock price, which suffered more
than that of its competitors.
In the first part of 2003, Fiat stock was impacted by the heavy losses
reported for 2002. However, presentation of the Relaunch Plan by the new
management in June 2003 and the successful subscription of the capital
increase generated enough investor confidence as to permit stabilization
of the stock price in the second half of 2003.
