Last financial year, the RWE Group generated €49.0 billion in external revenue. Compared with 2007, this corresponds to a 15 % rise, which is predominantly due to increased electricity and gas prices. First-time consolidations and deconsolidations did not have a significant impact on revenue. Overall, currency effects had a negative impact on revenue since Sterling, our major foreign currency, lost considerably in value compared to the euro. Averaged for the period under review, the exchange rate was £0.80/€ (2007: £0.69/€). The US dollar depreciated as well, dropping to US$1.47/€ (2007: US$1.38/€), whereas the Czech crown increased in value. Net of currency and consolidation effects, Group revenue rose by 18 %.
