The following changes were observed in each segment: fixed Income and Forex revenues were down 23.9%, with • Fixed Income falling 23.7%, attributable to less dynamic sales in France and Asia in long-term issues, and with forex activities falling 24.3% in a context of low currency volatility and a decrease in flow volumes; credit revenues were up 15.1% compared to 2018. The • business was impacted by continued growth in securitization activities, in both Europe and the US; revenues on the repo activities, now shared 50/50 between • Fixed Income and Equity, were down 7.5% on 2018, impacted by stricter regulatory constraints and in a competitive market that caused a tightening of margins.
