In general, all of the Group’s geographical areas were affected by the health crisis and its consequences on economic activity. The France region is holding up better due to a better balance between the Group’s different business lines. The TMF business also enjoyed major contracts that helped to mitigate the downwardtrend and includes a greater proportion ofDSS activities.
