    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.

Trainor Jr, East Tennessee State University ABSTRACT Previous research indicates that long-term investors are not compensated for beta or volatility risk. This study shows these two results are at least partly due to the mathematics of compounding exacerbated in high volatility markets. Theoretical beta portfolios defined to perform exactly as the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) would predict on a monthly basis, show that high beta portfolios dramatically outperform in low volatility environments and underperform in high volatility environments.

Celui-ci est considéré comme l‟échelle la plus pertinente de l‟action des services publics, c‟est également une forme de gouvernance et d‟expression démocratique à un moment où le besoin de proximité se fait encore plus sentir pour mieux assurer un développement durable et inclusif. Il suppose néanmoins une évolution du rôle de l‟Etat vers la décentralisation et une intégration des dynamiques de la société civile, des corps intermédiaires, des différents groupements de développement portés par des acteurs autonomes. Et, en sus, une véritable définition de la politique de développement territoriale avec une capacité d‟organisation pour les processus de mise en œuvre pour assurer les modes de transfert idoines au développement. L‟Ambassade du Royaume du Maroc en France a organisé depuis 2014 différentes rencontres et conférences portant sur le thème « du vivre ensemble » qui a fait l‟objet d‟un ouvrage « Mieux vivre ensemble dans des sociétés en mutation, regards croisés sur les sociétés marocaine et française ». En 2017, l‟ambassade a lancé un autre cycle de conférences, toujours en regard croisés, sur le modèle de développement, les territoires et la décentralisation.
