Portrait : Aboubakr Belhaj, underwriter at the core of Coface's credit insurance activities
The underwriter is at the center of the game, having to reconcile support for the policyholder with controlled risk-taking by the insurer. In credit insurance, as in any sport, the rule is to respect the risk underwriter's decisions. But only if they are justified. Aboubakr Belhaj strives to ensure that they are at Coface. This balance cannot be taken for granted.

Electric vehicles: is Europe still in the driver's seat? Competition between China and Europe in an age of mobility transition
The EU voted to ban new internal combustion engine car sales by 2035, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. This EV transition disrupts Europe's auto industry, which lags behind China. The EU imposed tariffs on Chinese vehicles in response. The challenge now for the EU is to maintain a leading automotive manufacturing industry while achieving the carbon neutrality targets it has set itself.

A less global village? World trade in the age of geopolitical fragmentation

Geopolitical upheavals, from Ukraine to the Middle East, are driving fragmentation, while 'friend-shoring' redirects trade based on alliances. Connector countries are rising, and new trade routes are emerging, but major powers like the U.S. and China remain deeply interdependent. Globalization is reorganizing to adapt to rising protectionism.
