The "Bois Nobles" project is only likely to generate rent in the second half of the year. On account of the continuing uncertainty regarding the political situation in the DRC and the resulting international tensions, the Group is expecting results similar to those in 2017 for its real estate activity. The same is true for CARRIGRES, which is anticipating turnover and a result in the same order of magnitude as in 2017. Overall, the Group is therefore forecasting a stabilisation of the recurring operating result.
