    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.

  • Colonial and Orientalist Veils
    Colonial and Orientalist Veils: Associations of Islamic Female Dress in the French and Moroccan Press and Politics Loubna Bijdiguen Goldmiths College – University of London Thesis Submitted for a PhD in Media and Communications Abstract The veiled Muslimah or Muslim woman has figured as a threat in media during the past few years, especially with the increasing visibility of religious practices in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts. Islamic dress has further become a means and technique of constructing ideas about the ‘other’. My study explores how the veil comes to embody this otherness in the contemporary print media and politics. It is an attempt to question constructions of the veil by showing how they repeat older colonial and Orientalist histories. I compare and contrast representations of the dress in Morocco and France. This research is about how Muslimat, and more particularly their Islamic attire, is portrayed in the contemporary print media and politics. My research aims to explore constructions of the dress in the contemporary Moroccan and French press and politics, and how the veil comes to acquire meanings, or veil associations, over time. I consider the veil in Orientalist, postcolonial, Muslim and Islamic feminist contexts, and constructions of the veil in Orientalist and Arab Nahda texts. I also examine Islamic dress in contemporary Moroccan and French print media and politics. While I focus on similarities and continuities, I also highlight differences in constructions of the veil. My study establishes the importance of merging and comparing histories, social contexts and geographies, and offers an opportunity to read the veil from a multivocal, multilingual, cross-historical perspective, in order to reconsider discourses of Islamic dress past and present in comparative perspective.
