Well, I guess we're going to be right on time, which is untypical for me. Welcome, everyone, to this session, and we're going to be talking about 2024 and hopefully about 2025 and onwards. Thanks for those who made the effort to come physically in the room. We're happy to see you and happy to have all of you online. I'm going to start with probably what I like the best, which is 20,000 feet altitude looking at Earth and looking at the world.
Geopolitics, I'm not going to teach you anything that you don't know, but it's probably good to be aware of it. The world is probably more so than ever fragmented in terms of conflict and in terms of accepting differences, economies are very contrasted in terms of where you are in the world, if you are in Singapore, in the Middle East, you're a happy guy. If you end up being in Northern Europe, you're certainly less happy. And if you're in America, you are also a happy person. So it's we have to navigate between a lot of different economies.
