    CONSEIL D'administration DU 17 Mars 2021

    CONSEIL D’ADMINISTRATION DU 17 Mars 2021 RAPPORT DU CONSEIL D’ADMINISTRATION SUR LES OPERATIONS DE L’EXERCICE 2020 A L’ASSEMBLEE GENERALE ORDINAIRE ANNUELLE Messieurs les Actionnaires, Nous vous avons réuni en Assemblée Générale Ordinaire Annuelle, conformément à la loi et à l’article 22 des statuts, pour entendre le rapport du Conseil d’Administration et celui des Commissaires aux Comptes sur l’exercice clos le 31 décembre 2020. Avant d’analyser l’activité de la Compagnie, nous voudrions vous rappeler brièvement l’environnement économique international et national dans lequel elle a évolué ainsi que le contexte du secteur des assurances. CONTEXTE A l’international Dans un contexte de crise inédit, l’économie mondiale a connu une sévère récession en 2020 (- 3,7% selon la Banque Mondiale), frappée de plein fouet par la pandémie du COVID-19. Confrontée à une grave crise sanitaire (plus de 28,6 millions de cas au 28/02/2021), l’économie américaine a perdu 3,6% en 2020, la pire récession depuis 1946, affectée par les effets de la pandémie. Après une forte remontée du PIB au 3ème trimestre 2020 (+33,1% en glissement annuel), la reprise s’est affaiblie au 4ème trimestre 2020 suite à la résurgence des infections au Coronavirus et la mise en place de nouvelles restrictions locales. Pour sa part, la croissance en Zone Euro accuse un repli historique de 6,8% en 2020 en raison de l’aggravation de la situation sanitaire et la multiplication des mesures de confinement dans la plupart des grandes économies de la Zone. Le recul le plus marqué est en Espagne (-11%) contre -8,8% pour l’Italie, -8,3% pour la France et -5% pour l’Allemagne.

The North African kingdom, which hosted in Marrakesh COP 22, the UN climate change conference, already has a pretty detailed plan as to how it will transform the country’s energy mix. Noor Ouarzazate In February 2016, Morocco was all over the news with the official launch of the 160-MW first phase of its giant 580 MW Noor solar project near the trading city of Ouarzazate.

A magnificent array of architecture set against the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, beneath a brilliant blue sky that reveals the city’s true nature – a luxuriant, sun-soaked oasis, heady with the scent of the jasmine and orange blossom that adorn its gardens. Within its adobe walls, in the sun-streaked shade, the medina’s teeming streets are alive with activity. A hubbub of voices calling back and forth, vibrant colours, the air filled with the fragrance of cedar wood and countless spices. Sounds, colours and smells unite gloriously to compose an astonishing sensorial symphony. Marrakech, city of legend, cultural capital, inspirer of artists, fashions and Bab Agnaou leads to Marrakech’s events; Marrakech with its art galleries, festivals, and exhibitions; Marrakech main palaces with its famous names, its luxurious palaces and its glittering nightlife.

Morocco is the second Arab and first African nation to have an FTA with the U.S. The FTA provides U.S. exporters increased access to the Moroccan market by eliminating tariffs on 95% of currently traded consumer and industrial goods and levels the playing field with European competition. It provides enhanced protection for U.S. intellectual property, including trademarks and digital copyrights, expanded protection for patents and product approval information and tough penalties for piracy and counterfeiting. Morocco is steadily progressing toward greater internal modernization and globalization, with the creation of the country’s first commercial courts, streamlined customs services and 16 Regional Investment Centers dedicated solely to facilitating new business ventures.
