ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Covid-19 pandemic began to wreak havoc on 2020 in March with major impacts on the economy, individuals and entities, and markets. Since the beginning of the crisis, Groupama’s 24,000 employees have remained constant in their commitment to supporting policyholders and members on a daily basis thanks to the effectivenessof teleworking and paperless exchanges, significantly bolstered and widely implementedsince the beginning of the first
lockdown and with the commitmentof its 31,500mutual insurance elected representatives. For the insurancesector, the consequencesof this crisis have also be significant. The Group has therefore supported its customers and members, especially by granting premium reductions and payment facilities. It also contributed to the collective effort by contributing to the VSE/SME solidarity fund set up by the central government and to governmentexpenditurefor the managementof the Covid-19 pandemic.
