THE CONTEXT IS STILL
POSITIVE BUT MORE UNCERTAIN
AND LESS CLEAR-CUT

Clients are still showing caution and restraint in their investments. The number of calls for
tender remains high, but is down on the peak period of 2022. This finding is consistent across all
countries, sectors and types of service.

July and August were satisfactory, but below our expectations. There was a slight improvement
in early September but this has yet to be confirmed over time.

Faced with this more uncertain and less clear-cut situation, we have adopted a more cautious and
demanding strategy when it comes to recruitment.

The increase in sales prices is still offsetting the rise in wages.

The number of external growth projects we receive is rising significantly.

2023 SHOULD BE
